Q: Could you please tell me how the fundamentals are calculated in divided class share structured companies? Could the answer could include A,B,Preferred shares? How would rules apply to Market cap/ P/Eratios, or anything else? Would it be total market cap of both a and b shares or per class when I view them on a company profile? Is every company required to report this the same way? How about general calculations of the company. What is the best method for me to look at when I wish to do research on a company. I use ATD.A,B as an example but any example you wish will be fine.
Thank you
Jeremy

Q: It seems that there has been a steady flow to the exits on Alimentation after the 5 cent miss. P&F chart shows a triple bottom breakdown today . We are down almost $10.00 from the high with a prediction that it is expected to come back 10%. Do you feel that there is something that is changing in their business , or is this profit taking ?

Q: Peter,

I am trying to get a handle on the way the industry calculates debt to equity ratio. I look at ATD.B and on 5-I it shows .84. Morningstar shows 1.17. They don't seem to include other LT liabilities. My calculation shows 15,577 / 7563 = 2.05 ( April 2019 YE).
Please advise the calculation method that is consistent in the industry so I can compare apples to apples with different companies.

Thank you,

Paul
