I like to compare companies with different metrics. It helps me understand a little better each business. This time, I am sharing the metric Gross Profit / Employee.
Hope you find it interesting 🙂
This is the consolidated graph. The next graphs are grouped by industry 👇
This is an interesting comparison metric (one of many) that can be analyzed to compare productivity between companies and industries at a point in time.
The trend of this ratio is probably more important than the current ratio. I may do a thread in the future based on trends.
If you are more interested in valuation, I did a thread comparing these companies based on EV/GP NTM vs 3-year CAGR last week.
After a few volatile days, it is a good time to assess where current valuation multiples stand and the estimates of revenue CAGR for the next few years.
This is the consolidated graph with all the companies. The next graphs are grouped by industry.
The past 6 months I have been working to determine my personal (and biased) quality score for most of the companies on my checklist and others I see on fintwit.
Valuation was not a part of this score. Also, this list is not meant to be a stock recommendation.
In order to assign a quality score, I used standard parameters to score aspects such as:
- Management
- Culture
- Financial Resilience
- Moat
- Competitive landscape
- Potential
- Past performance
- Share dilution
- Risks
I am sharing this list for three reasons:
1. I put a lot of work and hours to this, so I thought that this might be useful for others on fintwit.
2. I benefit so much from investors constantly sharing valuable information in here, that I like to add some value in return.
Struggling with the decision to add between $BABA $AMZN or $JD 🤔

$RDFN 12x
Just finished watching a great interview with @yliownyc at Capital Allocators. Thank you for bring it to my attention @EugeneNg_VCap.
I wanted to share with you some of the insights and gems that I highlighted from Yen Liow investment strategy and framework:
“I think that time arbitrage is the most powerful weapon you have in markets, on top of skill. It is an amplifier of skill. The cost of high performance is volatility, it is also the provider of it”
“I define the right tail as 5 and 10 periods of 20%+ compounded returns. What I found is that only 14% of securities above $1-billion market cap could do it, and only 3% are able to do it for 10 year rolling periods.”
