Scale Ability [TrendX_]

2023년 11월 15일

Scale Ability indicator can indicate a company’s potential for future growth and profitability.

A scalable company is one that can increase its revenue and market share without increasing its costs proportionally, which can benefit from economies of scale. Therefore, the high-scale ability can generate more value for its shareholders - which is important for investment decisions.


Scale Ability indicator consists of 3 financial components:

1. Cash Flow from Investing Activities to Total Assets Ratio (CFIA / TA)
   
   
2. Net Income to Total Debt Ratio (NI / TD)
   
   
3. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization to Equity Ratio (EBITDA / E)
   

These measures can help investors assess how efficiently and effectively a company uses its resources to generate revenue and profit.

Note:

• This can be customizable between Fiscal Quarter (FQ) and Fiscal Year (Fy)
  
• This is suitable for companies in fast-growing industries.
