10:50 Balance sheet analysis summary
The balance sheet is an overview of what a company owns and what a company owes at a specific point in time, in this case study December 31st, 2017. When I analyze a balance sheet, there are several things I always check, for each company I look at: the balance sheet total, which should be the same left and right (what a company owns equals what a company owes); the current ratio, a good indicator of a company’s liquidity; and equity as a percentage of the balance sheet total, which gives an indication of how the company is financed, and what its level of robustness is. Then I look specifically at several items on the assets side, and several items on the liabilities and equity side. What those specific items are, I only decide after taking a first look at the balance sheet of the company under review. It depends on the context.
