Word of the Day
Callable bond
It is a bond that the issuer can pay off before the maturity date
Normally, a bond pays interest for a fixed period till its date of maturity.
In a callable bond, the issuer may choose to pay off the bond early, often when interest rates decline.
This helps the issuer save on interest costs.
For investors, this means some uncertainty about future interest payments.
To compensate for this risk, callable bonds usually offer higher interest rates than similar non-callable bonds.
6 Day Course
Theme: understanding PE ratio
Day 4: Thursday
Different companies’ future growth potential is different.
Companies with high capital expenditures tend to grow slower. Companies that lack such expenses tend to grow much faster.
Because of this reason, the PE ratios seen in stocks of different industries also vary.
For example, in case of a mining company, the PE ratio of 40 might be considered too high. But in the case of internet tech companies, it might be seen as fair.
In fact, in the case of some very fast growing companies, the PE ratio might be negative — meaning the company is not making profits.
Some high-growth early stage companies run in losses initially.
In addition to that, a company’s profits or earnings may be very low in certain quarters due to temporary reasons. In those quarters, the PE ratio will appear very high.
The opposite can also happen. In some quarters, a company might make a very high earning that is temporary and will not repeat. In those quarters, the PE ratio will appear very low.
Both these cases can be very misleading.
Featured Questions
“Why there are so many tax penalty, and company are ready to challenge it, do they really can control system? Will they really pay this big amount?”
In the case of companies, there are many kinds of revenues/incomes.
Many times, different sources of revenues/incomes are taxed differently. The categorisation might be vague.
This is one common reason for tax disputes.
The company might say it has paid tax according to one rule while the tax department might say it should be taxed based on a different rule.
Such disputes go to court and get discussed.
The conclusion of these cases is not always in one direction. Sometimes, the company wins and sometimes the tax department wins.
Many times investigations reveal that both sides are inaccurate and the tax amount lies somewhere between what both of them claim it to be.
Such tax disputes are common in many major countries and are resolved similarly in courts.
