Hi All,
Here is my comparative analysis of the ratios between Breville Group and Barratt Developments (Tamara Ashby's firm). Tamara provides a very useful comparative table on her blog, which I have also attached below:
Hi Kiyah,
Hey, I really like how you broke down the comparison between Breville Group and Barratt Developments! You did a great job explaining why Breville’s net profit margin and ROA are higher — it makes total sense that household appliances have lower production costs and quicker asset turnover compared to the housing industry, which is way more capital-heavy and sensitive to things like interest rates.
Also, the part about Breville’s debt-to-equity ratio was super clear. I hadn’t thought much about how their higher ratio isn’t really from borrowings but from trade payables like customer rebates, which shows how they manage working capital day-to-day rather than relying on long-term debt. That was a neat insight!
Your explanation of Barratt’s conservative…
hahah i love this meme!
