Valuation

Earnings History (3 years)

It is important to look at a companies earnings history to see not only if they are profitable, but if their earnings are growing.
As you can see from the chart above, PSTG's earnings have increased for the past three years, this is a positive sign for the stock.
8
Financial Health
What is the current state of the company's financial situation?

We measure the health of a company based on how profitable they are and their ability to cover both their short-term and long-term debts. The key indicators that we use are the Operating Margin, Quick Ratio, and Debt-to-Equity ratio relative to the companies peers

Operational Margin 0.0057

The operating margin measures how much profit a company makes after it spends money on wages, materials or other administrative expenses but before interest and taxes. It is a good representation of how efficiently a company is able to generate profit from its core operations.

Quick Ratio 1.3477

The quick ratio measures how much of a company's debt, that is due in less than 1 year, can be covered using its cash equivalents, marketable securities, and money that is currently owed to them (accounts receivables).

A company with a quick ratio of less than 1.00 does not, in many cases, have the capital on hand to meet its short-term obligations if they were all due at once, while a quick ratio greater than one indicates the company has the financial resources to remain solvent in the short term.

Debt-to-Equity 2.0531

Debt-to-equity is calculated by dividing a company's total liabilities by its shareholders equity. It is a measure of the degree to which a company is financing its operations through debt versus wholly owned funds. Generally speaking, a D/E ratio below 1.0 would be seen as relatively safe, whereas ratios of 2.0 or higher would be considered risky.

The chart above shows Pure Storage (PSTG) operating margin, quick ratio, and debt-to-equity ratio compared to its peers. The black markers represent the peer averages for each ratio and the blue bars represent Pure Storage (PSTG) ratio values.

This ratio can be interpreted as the amount of return an investor has received for the amount of risk that they took on by owning the stock over that timeframe.
