Sibanye Stillwater’s current Ratio is at:
R 52 242 600 000 ÷ R17 487 100 00 =

#SSW has enough liquidity to cover short term obligations, in fact, more than enough- almost 3 times over.
•Shareholders’ Equity
If the company went bust today, it’s how much equity would be left after the deal. (Net Worth)
You find this information on a balance sheet, and it shows you how investable a company is. It will show you what price you are paying for the company.
$SSW shareholder’s equity is:
Total assets = R134 103 100 000
Total liabilities = R 63 387 100 000
*Minus minority interest. (Subsidiaries) - (watch video at the end to understand this).
Equity = R 68 billion 480 million.
•Earnings Per Share
shows us what portion of a company’s profit is allocated to each outstanding share.
Companies profit ÷ outstanding shares.
$SSW EPS =
R29billion ÷ 2 923 571 000
= 10
So for every share, $SSW Earns R10 in profits.
Negative earnings is a NO NO
•P/E ratio
To work out the P/E ratio you need to know the EPS.
The higher the P/E ratio, supposedly the more overvalued it is.
The lower the P/E , supposedly the more neglected it is.
Higher P/E’s demand higher earnings.
$SSW P/E ratio =
R65.70 ÷ 10
= 6.57
•Return on Equity (ROE)
ROE measures the profitability in relation to equity.
Basically, a return on assets (minus) all liabilities.
You want to see between 15%- 20% for it to be considered decent.
R29billion ÷R68billion 480 million
=42% (extremely attractive)
•Return on Assets (ROA)
ROA indicates how profitable a company is relative to its total assets.
Shows us how efficient management is at using a it’s assets to generate earnings.
$SSW ROA =
R29 311 900 000 ÷ R134 103 100 000 =
21.85%
