Just to recap ..... my "TARGET VALUES" are primarily based on what Buffett looks for. However I have reduced them all slightly as he is after companies with "Durable Competitive Advantage" and he sets his targets quite high ..... I try to widen the net a bit more ..... In the last column is what percentage of my TARGET the company has met ..... COHU. Gross Margin Good. EBITDA on the low side due to size of SG&A expense plus the R&D. Debt expense OK although LTD on the high side. Must have got a good repayment rate. Bottom line low at 4.3% and would be 3.7% if they paid their 25% Corporate Tax rate. According to Buffett's "Equity Bond" calc. COHU is not currently cheap. I see that the price gain over the last 12 months has been very good at about 150% !! BRKS. Much the same up to EBITDA as COHU. Debt and its expense particularly low. Bottom Line so-so at 9.2% and would also be slightly lower at 8.5% if 25% tax paid. Not cheap as per Equity Bond. I see that the price gain over the last 12 months has been very good at about 200% !! UUUU. A relatively small company with hardly any Revenue. After its Gross Margin number there are a lot of negatives which play havoc with the ratios. At the end of the day it's losing money. However, quite surprisingly, it had a price gain of about 100% over the last 12 months !! AMNF. Also a relatively small company. Although its Gross Margin is good percentage wise, the value is small so that its SG&A number reduces its EBITDA to under 9%. No debt .... good. Pays more than its fair share of taxes. Bottom line so-so at 7.4% Seems fairly priced at $3.20. Over the last 12 months it had a price gain of about 50%.
