Except that Anwar Galvanizing doesn’t disclose a description of the nature and purpose of each
reserve within equity as per paragraph 79 of IAS 1 (B). None of the selected companies has any
outstanding preference shares so the requirements regarding such equity don’t apply to the

Basic EPS:
Basic EPS consists of the company’s net income divided by its outstanding shares. It is the figure
most reported in the financial media and is also the simplest definition of EPS. Here Aftab
Automobiles had a negative Basic EPS in 2021 and it had a barely positive value in 2022 which
was still very low. While Anwar Galvanizing has seen 4x growth in their EPS Value.
Debt to Asset Ratio:
The total-debt-to-total-assets ratio is calculated by dividing a company's total amount of debt by
the company's total amount of assets. Here Aftab Automobiles has a low Debt to asset ratio
which means in 2021 15.6% of the asset was financed by the creditors which increased to 16.4%
in 2022. For Anwar Galvanizing had 54% of its assets financed by creditors in 2021 which
decreased to 49% in 2022.
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio, which measures a company's financial leverage, is determined by
dividing its total liabilities by the value of its shareholders. The D/E ratio is a crucial indicator in
corporate finance. It gauges how much debt a business is using to fund operations as opposed to
using cash on hand.
Both Aftab Automobiles and Anwar Galvanizing had their debt-to-equity ratio lower than 2 in
2021 and 2022, which is considered as the general consensus. But in 2022 Anwar Galvanizing
had the lowest among all which indicates that this company's equity is greater, and it doesn't
need any money to support its operations or business to grow.
Return on Equity is a metric of financial performance that is obtained by dividing net income by
shareholders' equity. ROE is referred to as the return on net assets since shareholders' equity is
determined by subtracting a company's debt from its assets. ROE is regarded as a barometer of a
company's profitability and how well it produces profits.
Among the companies, in 2021 Aftab Automobiles saw a negative outcome in their ROE ratio,
as there was negative net income for that period. This implies that shareholders were losing on
their investment in the company. Overall, Anwar Galvanizing had the best ROE in 2022 which
indicates that they are more efficient at generating income and growth from its equity financing.
P/E ratio is used to determine a company's value that compares its current share price to its
earnings per share (EPS) is known as the price-to-earnings ratio. The price multiple or earnings
multiple are other names for the price-to-earnings ratio. Investors and analysts use P/E ratios to
assess the relative value of a company's shares to compare other companies in the same industry.
It can also be used to compare a company to its past performance or to compare broad markets
over time or to one another.
In 2021, Aftab Automobiles experienced a negative P/E ratio because of negative net income.
Anwar Galvanizing has pretty good P/E ratios in both 2021 and 2022, although many investors
would prefer a P/E ratio between 20% to 25%.
In 2022, Aftab Automobiles has a incredibly high P/E ratio as their EPS was extraordinarily low.
The ratio between the total amount of dividends given to shareholders and the company's net
income is known as the dividend payout ratio. It is the portion of earnings that are distributed as
dividends to shareholders. The corporation keeps the money that is not distributed to
shareholders to pay down debt or to reinvest in its core businesses.
In 2021, Aftab Automobiles witnessed a negative dividend payout ratio which means they paid
out more dividends than their net income. However, in 2022, Aftab Automobiles had more than
100% dividend payout ratio which indicates that the company is paying its dividends from cash
reserve. This situation is not sustainable and may result in the eventual termination of all
dividends. Anwar Galvanizing had below 50% of dividend payout ratio which usually gives a
company enough flexibility to reward shareholders while holding the reserve to reinvest in new
projects.
Technical Analysis
From the ratios discussed above it would be preferable to invest in Anwar Galvanizing instead of
Aftab Automobiles as Anwar Galvanizing has a good return on equity, Price to Earnings ratio.
Even though they have a high Debt to Asset ratio they are able to post good EPS each year and a
properly used debt that could increase the value of the company’s overall value, benefiting the
shareholders. Lastly, Anwar Galvanizing has a more stable dividend payout ratio as per
company’s financial position while Aftab Automobiles is providing dividends even when they
are making losses and their dividend payout ratio is way too high compared to the profits, they
made in 2022.
