📈 Evaluating the Business (Warren Buffett's Rule)

The world's most successful investor, Warren Buffett, suggests some criteria you should always remember while evaluating a business. They are:

1️⃣ Simple Business

Easy to understand how and where the money comes from. It should not experience major changes even 10 or 20 years later.

2️⃣ Consistent History

The company must have a consistent and proven operating history over the years.

3️⃣ Long-term Prospects

Favorable long-term prospects. Does the product have a future?

Finding a company’s competitive advantage (Moat) is crucial to know whether the company will be able to sustain its profitability. Check the company's competitive advantage in the form of margins. By comparing its margin with its competitors, it is easy to tell which company (within the same industry) has better profitability.

Always focus on finding the future growth drivers of the company and the risks associated with the business.
