What is Working Capital? Here's a simple explanation... 👉 FOLLOW @brianferoldi for more content like this. Like this visual? Grab a FREE copy of my accounting ebook (link in bio). Working capital -- aka Net Working Capital -- is the difference between a company's current assets (expected to be used/consumed/converted into cash <1 year) and current liabilities (debts that are expected to be paid off in <1 year). 💡Why is working capital important? Working Capital is a quick way to assess a company's liquidity, which is its ability to meet its short-term obligations. It serves as an indicator of a company's financial health. If working capital is positive, it indicates that a company has sufficient resources to cover its short-term financial needs. If working capital is negative, it indicates that a company may face financial difficulties. There are three ways to calculate working capital: 1️⃣ THE SIMPLE METHOD Current Assets - Current Liabilities This is the most common method and easiest to calculate. 2️⃣ THE NARROW METHOD (Current Assets - Cash) - (Current Liabilities - Debt) This method excludes cash & debt, which can be useful for comparing companies with different capital structures. 3️⃣ THE SPECIFIC METHOD: Accounts Receivable + Inventory - Accounts Payable: This method focuses on the cash conversion cycle of a business, which is the time it takes to convert inventory into cash.

Comment "CAPITAL" and I will DM you all the links. 🔄 Working Capital Cycle — the secret sauce to understanding how efficiently a business runs. It’s not just about profits, it’s about how quickly money flows through the system. Here’s the formula: Receivables + Inventory - Payables = Working Capital Now let’s bring it to life👇🏼 Imagine two businesses: A biscuit brand vs. A rice trading company. Rice takes almost 2 years from harvest to sale — your capital is locked for that long. Biscuits? The entire cycle — production to sales — wraps in 3-6 months. That’s a faster cash conversion cycle 💸 Result? ✅ Biscuit business scales faster ✅ Needs less fresh capital ✅ Has better return ratios This is why working capital efficiency matters. When comparing companies, look beyond revenue and profits — ask how quickly they turn investment into cash. Even DuPont Analysis dives into this. It’s not just finance jargon — it’s real business insight. Next time you’re analyzing a stock, don’t ignore the working capital cycle. It might reveal more than earnings ever could. #thevaluationschool #finance #workingcapital #invesment #receivable #debtor #sales #cash #company #analysis #investing #dupont #capital

A much requested follow up to the DCF model! The ‘true price’ of a business money? Well, businesses aren’t free to run. They’re funded by a combination of debt and equity, and the proportion of each determines the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which mathematically represents a company’s average cost of financing. This figure is commonly used to calculate NPV (such as in a DCF) and to evaluate potential and current investments. However, like any financial ratio/model, it has its limitations, largely stemming from the fact that many of its inputs are based on historical data, which isn’t always indicative of future performance. Despite this, WACC can help businesses set standards for profitability, as projects/investments must produce returns > WACC to create value. So if you like improving your financial knowledge, staying current in the stock market, and becoming a better investor, follow along.

CAPITAL IS POWER 💴💯 . . . #stocklearners #capital #power #traders #trendingreel

Capital is now chasing efficiency. My thoughts on raising capital, to aspiring founders, have emerged from my own journey: Don't raise capital for the sake of raising it. Investors are discerning and prefer a strategy where capital is not just raised decisively, but also deployed judiciously and is backed by good unit economics. We have gotten here with many such learnings on the way. (Video from 2017) #startup #entrepreneurship
