KPI’s

This sections offers 4 key performance indicators and provides insight for interpreting the performance of a company.

Reputation (Market Value Added)

This key performance indicator is used to gauge the capacity of management to increase the value of the company. The market value added (MVA) is calculated by deducting the invested capital to the total market value. This KPI calculates the percentage of MVA of the market capitalization. The higher the percentage, the higher the reputation. On the other hand, a negative MVA means that the company has an unattractive reputation.

Effective management will grow the MVA, whereas bad management will destroy the MVA.

Percentage Future Growth Value On Market Capital

This key performance indicator is important to evaluate if the stock price is fairly valued. The future growth value (FGV) is calculated by deducting the current operating value of the company from the total market value. In addition, the FGV is the net present value of all future EVA.

This is a complex KPI. Firstly, you must look at whether or not the FGV is in line with the company’s current situation. For example, we expect a high FGV for growth stocks and almost no FGV for a slow or no growth company. Companies can sometimes trade at a discount or at a premium. For example, a growth stock with a declining FGV growth but rising EVA growth signals a bullish forecast.

Economic Performance Index

The economic performance index (EPI) is the main indicator to identify how much wealth is redistributed to the shareholders. The higher the better, and a negative EPI means that the company is not covering its costs of capital.

EVA Versus Net Operating Profit

This KPI is very useful for understanding the correlation between economic value added (EVA) and net operating profit (NOP). If both the NOP and EVA have the same slope they will be given a parallel and green signal. If both the NOP and EVA are sloping up but the NOP is flatter, it will have a converging and green signal. If both the NOP and EVA are sloping up but the EVA is flatter, it will have a diverging and red signal.
