Let's learn how to analyze the three core earnings statements, join the discussion and have fun!


Income Statement

The income statement summarizes the company's income and expenses during a certain period.The indicators worth attention are revenue, net income and operating profit.

Revenue, which reflects the profitability of the company's various businesses, especially the main business, is the first one we should understand. Then, net income and operating profit are more important, because they are the core profit of a company and the embodiment of sustained competitiveness.

In the 2021Q1 earnings report released by Apple $Apple(AAPL.US)$ this week, its quarterly revenue exceeded $100 billion for the first time! Cook also had difficulty restraining his joy at the analyst meeting, "We cannot be more optimistic. If it were not for the impact of the new crown epidemic, the performance might have been better."

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet is to report the company's assets, liabilities, and owners' equity at a specific point in time. Its basic structure: assets = liabilities + owner's equity.

Here we need to analyze the company's cash, deposits, short-term investments, receivables and payables, inventory, etc. The increase in current assets compared to previous years indicates that the company's ability to pay and liquidity has increased.

Cash Flow Statement

It expresses the change of an institution’s cash (including bank deposits) during a fixed period (usually monthly or quarterly). The cash flow statement can show the company's short-term debt repayment ability, stability and the company's investment activities.

Tesla $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ once again raised $5 billion through a stock offering and the company expects to see a large number of convertible bonds converted into stocks due to the sharp rise in stock prices. With the possibility of GAAP net profit approaching $1 billion, coupled with hundreds of millions of dollars in depreciation and stock-based compensation, Tesla gave a decent free cash flow data report.

  • treydongui : I really dig the Moo Academy. A lesson a day gives you time to digest the info, then time to familiarize ourselves with it.
    Even some of the more basic lessons are still nice for a brush up. in fact it tightens up my routine because I felt like the first time I learned many of these things it was information overload on a novice brain. I think you guys have had a pretty good selection so far and have been mixing it up well to keep everyone happy. your time is appreciated and was not in vain.  Thanks again...

  • R2D2wasaTFormer treydongui: how do you access the moo academy? I'm new and learning fast but feel there are many gaps.

  • treydongui : go to streams like where it would show your profile and then at the top there are headers with different categories. I believe there's one labeled teach and learn and you just click on that. I'll double check and make sure it's right and if not I'll get back to you but I'm pretty sure that's how. I subscribed to the teacher and learn header so I get notifications

  • treydongui R2D2wasaTFormer: yeah go to the tab where you can see your profile and then click on ,"moo guide" and that will put you in the teach and learn section make sure you subscribe or join at the top of that section so you get notifications on new postings
