Before we deep dive into the key insights of our watchlist 71 from the latest quarterly (Q3FY23) results, here is something you should read.
Annual Reports are Overrated
Quarterly Concalls are Underrated
Annual Reports, no doubt, contain a lot of useful information about the businesses you wish to study in depth. However, as Philip Fisher writes in his book, management often designs them in a way to build up stockholder goodwill. In that quest, the management always has the incentive to hide the facts from you if that is going to bring disrepute to the company’s image.
However, management cannot do so in case of a live quarterly investor call. When you face the best minds in the analyst and investor community of the country and answer their questions in real time, you don’t have much scope. Plus, the quality of questions by some of the participants and management’s response to them help you understand a lot of nuances about the business that cannot be found in Annual Reports.
I am not advocating to stop reading annual reports. My only suggestion is to pay more attention to quarterly calls. The incremental knowledge per word in the case of a quarterly call transcript often (not always) will trump the incremental knowledge per word in the case of annual reports.
Hence, we at Smart Sync Services, religiously make crisp yet detailed notes of as many businesses as possible. 11 quarters ago, we started with 30-odd businesses. Today, we cover 72 businesses.
