SoWuliangye can control their cash flow better. But we can see the company’s inventory turnover greatly decreases between 2006 and 2009 .So we guess there are some leak in the management process. It’s hard for the firm to keep their competitive advantage if not repairing the vulnerabilities.

Receivable turnover ratio

 

From the graph we find that the receivable turnover ratio of Wuliangye in 2009 is about 206.29 times meanwhile the industry’s average level is only 149.93 times.

It may make people have no confident with the management of Wuliangye.

Comparing with the industry average level, Wuliangye’s data is larger, which means that Wuliangye has a healthy operating condition.

Comparing with the industry average level, it’s easy to see Wuliangye has a higher level.So Wuliangye has more competitiveness in same industry. On the other side, Wuliangye also has a high return on assets and equity.

The return on assets and return on equity

 

Return on assets:

From the graph, ROA increases greatly of about 11% from 2006 to 2009. It indicates that the internal growth rate is in a very good level. So Wuliangye need not to borrow more capital to issue new stock.. Thanks to the 4% larger than industry level, Wuliangye has more ability to develop than others.

Price-earning ratio

 

For the P/E ratio of Wuliangye, from 2006 to 2009(except 2007), it increases year by year for 29.84%, 34.82%, 37.03% respectively. It represents that the investors are willing to pay more and more for one dollar of current earnings. According to this situation, we can learn that Wuliangye has a bright future.

 But when you scan the industry average, you will find that the cost what you need to pay of Wuliangye is less than the average level. From the standpoint of investment, the lower market-to-book ratio of one stock is, the higher an investment they become anyway and vice versa.So there is more value to invest to Wuliangye comparing with the others in the same industry.

 

5. Conclusion结论

By analysing the datas,we know that the Wuliangye’s total-debt has increased in recent years and it reachs to 0.3 times in 2009.For creditors, the higher of a firm’s total debt ratio, the higher risk they may take on. However,from the standpoint of the firm,an appropriate total debt ratio will helps in bringing a leverage benefit to the firm because any firm can abtain benefit as long as the revenue ratio exceeds the interest ratio and a firm can develop quickly through the way of accumulating capital under the condition of having no effort on the control of the firm.#p#分页标题#e#

The debt scale of Wuliangye is safe at present.At the same time,the sales revenue of the firm has a reletive high increase and we can consider to add its debt,but it also may have a financial crisis because of a sustained increasing debt.So the moderate total debt ratio is about 0.4.

On the other hand,the current ratio and quick ratio of Wuliangye go up to 4.2 times and 3.2 times seperately from year 2006 to 2008 and these exceed the general criterion.Although by doing this can make sure a high short-term solvency ,it also increases the firm’s interest burden and wasting of capital.After notice of this problem,Wuliangye enhanced business management and advanced the availiability of capital so that the ratios drop to the average level of the industry which is reasonable in 2009.Generally speaking, the firm’s solvency is at a healthy level compared with the industry average level.

As for the management efficiency,the various indicators of Wuliangye are higher than the industry average level, which means that Wuliangye has a good way to control the cash flow and ensure its high profit.But the indicators were declining during the past few years and this may have something to do with the firm’s multivariant strategies.Wuliangye introduced hundreds of wines besides its major wine.It is obvious that the firm can obtain quick success and instant benefit.But in a long run,the firm will feel short of ability to keep up with the industry level.Without essential adjustment,the firm will decline in the future because of the wrong strategy.

Wuliangye’s profit margin,ROA and ROE are increasing in recent years.The profit margin reachs to 41.38% in 2009,which is much higher than the industry’s average level 28.04% and this indicates the firm has a powerful profitbility which results in a rapid increase in the profit margin.Meanwhile, its assets and equity have a high return. The ROE and ROA increase greatly from year 2006 to 2009 and the firm’s internal growth is high so that Wuliangye has enough capital to support its self-development without issuing shares and bonds.

For the market value of Wuliangye’s stocks,PE ratio and Market-to-Book ratio were rising steadily between 2006 and 2009,but they also below the industry level in 2009 and this indicates that the investment risk for Wuliangye is low and it poccesses good prospect and high value to invest.
