    Preston Pysh is the #1 selling Amazon author of two books on Warren Buffett. The books can be found at the following location:
    www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982...
    www.amazon.com/gp/product/1939...
    In this lesson, we learned the importance of buying a company that has a strong return on equity. Since the market price of the stocks you buy is dependent on the dividends and the growth of the book value, we can quickly learn that a company that grows it's book value at a faster pace is more valuable.
    When we assessed two different companies in the video, we created a situation where both companies had the exact same earnings. The difference between the companies was the size of their equity (or book value). When a company with a large amount of book value is compared to a company with less book value, the percent change in their growth will be much more difficult if earnings are similar.
    When a company consistently has a strong Return on Equity, we know as investors that the management of the company is properly reinvesting the earnings of the business into assets that will continue to grow the capital earned. This is very important since most of the earnings produced by a company are retained and not paid as a dividend. When a disciplined investor purchases companies with a sustained high ROE, their investments compound at a much higher rate than other assets. The great thing with purchasing companies with high ROEs is that it helps alleviate capital gains tax if the security is held for a long period of time.

  • @alexshay7969
    @alexshay7969 11 років тому +1

    Hi preston I read that Buffet article you pointed to in the book here is a quote that's puzzling to me, "For the moment, let's think of those companies, not as listed stocks, but as productive enterprises. Let's also assume that the owners of those enterprises had acquired them at book value. In that case, their own return would have been around 12% too."
    How is it possible aquire at a book value and only get a measly 12%? Or maybe I don't understand what he is talking about.

    So, lately, I've been looking at some of the foreign stocks, in particular, Korean stocks. I realize that our analysis is based on 10 years of past book values, however, how do we analyze stocks that don't have such long of a history or it's very tedious and difficult to find the 10 year history? I was using the Hyundai Security's tool, and this only goes back 3 years . . . .

    Hi Preston, great videos. I'm learning a lot. You have mentioned twice, however, that you and Warren believe price changes based on book value. I ran the data through multiple different sources and it's not adding up. Price does not change consistently with book value, or ROE. Can you please show some non-anecdotal data (not just one hand picked stock example) to prove this theory? I'd really appreciate it, as it seems odd Warren Buffett would be wrong about anything.

    In Warren Buffet's Accounting, Return on Equity refers to the ROE achieved by management of the company. I.e. an indicator of how efficiently the company is able to gain a return from investments, such as in machinery or an acquisition. This video appears to take ROE figure as a direct perspective of the investor into that particular company's shares, vs. another?

    Hi Alex, I was just reading the article now and I think the answer to that question is just in the paragraph above, where Buffett analyses the return of stocks for around 20years before the article and it seems the stocks were returning around 12 year on year:
    " ...but over the years, and in the aggregate, the return in book value tends to keep coming back to a level around 12%."

  • @arentube8123
    @arentube8123 4 роки тому +1

    Love these videos, but, as a math guy with little investing experience, this explanation of RoE scares me a little. The equity is in the denominator, so as equity goes to zero, RoE goes toward infinity, so companies with little to no equity can produce outstanding RoE numbers. Lets use the intrinsic value calculator to assess two companies that are identical, with one exception, debt.
    Company A, debt free:
    BV - $10,
    % annual change in BV: 10% (assume 10% RoE creates corresponding growth in equity)
    years: 10
    discount rate: 5%
    Calculated intrinsic value: $15.92
    Company B, $5 in debt per share (or debt/equity of 1):
    BV - $5
    % annual change in BV: 20% (ignoring interest expense, same EPS generates 20% RoE)
    years: 10
    discount rate: 5%
    Calculated intrinsic value: $19.01
    So the calculator confirms the hypothesis that higher RoE produced by increased debt should be rewarded, only I cannot wrap my head around how this would be good. This is two identical companies with the exception that one has debt that the other one does not. Why would I want the company with debt?

    • @beautyxz
      @beautyxz 8 років тому +1

      +atribecalled solitude I was kinda confused and thought the same thing after watching too... think of it like the company's equity is their pool of money and you have your own. If they can generate a return (ROE) of 20% with their money, that's likely better than you can do on your own. Even if all of that 20% doesn't go directly into their book value the next year the company is clearly smart with their money and is using it efficiently.

    • @CE-vd2px
      @CE-vd2px 7 років тому +1

      Jeffrey McNeary I think ROE is 5 to 10 year average which takes into account the eps and bv change over that period. It is like when we use the intrinsic value calculator to see the average change in book value over ten years except in this care we are seeing the averagr eps/bv over 5 or 10 years (depending on the years u want to use)

    • @m.bouanane4455
      @m.bouanane4455 4 роки тому

      Great videos and very useful for beginners.
      High or low ROE doesn't mean a high or low change in BV. ROE is interesting for the management and the owner of the majority of shares who can decide how the net income will be allocated. It is also interesting to bankers as well as to new investors who are willing to buy all the shares or a big majority. ROE only means that the company is able to make high or low profit compared to the equity and if the company is capable to distribute dividends and or reinvest. It doesn't mean that the BV will necessarily change.
      The conclusion of the video seems to be confusing: There is no correlation between the ROE (could be high) and the return of a share (could be low). Thus, other ratios are more useful for minority stakeholders such as Yield or PER (price earning ratio) and MTB (market to book).

    • @CE-vd2px
      @CE-vd2px 7 років тому +1

      striker9915 I believe ROE only becomes more of a factor as the dividends go down and the amount of money the company reinvests into the business goes up.
      Another thing to consider is that if the leaders of the company can't reinvest their money properly then what else are they poor at irregardless of their dividend yield? I think a low ROE may indicate poor leadership despite paying a high dividend

So does this mean we can grow money a lot faster in India than in US at much lower risk? So finding a company that provides 7-8 % returns is of no use in India ? Please reply

    • @imlkr_

      Of course! If you manage to earn 8 percent by investing in an Indian company it's below average because you can get the same compounded returns on a FD and with tax benefits too! 12 to 15 percent is an average in a growing nation like India!

    I totally disagree on the relevance on ROE, I acutally think it is one of the most irrelvant ratios you can come up in a company. Banks for example, pump up ROE by simply levaraging to absurd amounts. So the ROI could actually be small, and the ROE huge because of all that liability. It is rather more interesting knowing about the Revenenue and diving it by the price of the share. That is how much money is being generated and how much you have to pay to be part of it! P/E with E growth!
