Advanced Micro Devices Sloan Ratio % Calculation

Earnings contain a lot of non cash earnings which is called accruals. The Sloan ratio is a way to identify firms with low non-cash or accrual-derived earnings relative to their cash flow.

Advanced Micro Devices's Sloan Ratio for the fiscal year that ended in Dec. 2023 is calculated as

Sloan Ratio=(Net Income (A: Dec. 2023 )-Cash Flow from Operations (A: Dec. 2023 )
-Cash Flow from Investing (A: Dec. 2023 ))/Total Assets (A: Dec. 2023 )
=(854-1667
--1423)/67885
=0.90%

Advanced Micro Devices's Sloan Ratio for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2023 is calculated as

Sloan Ratio=(Net Income (TTM)-Cash Flow from Operations (TTM))
-Cash Flow from Investing (TTM))/Total Assets (Q: Dec. 2023 )
=(854-1667
--1423)/67885

Advanced Micro Devices  (NAS:AMD) Sloan Ratio % Explanation

A former University of Michigan researcher, Richard Sloan's 1996 paper found that shares of companies with small or negative accruals vastly outperform (+10%) those of companies with large ones. In fact, for the 40-year period between 1962 and 2001, buying the lowest accrual companies and shorting the highest accrual companies resulted in an average annual compounded return of 18%, more than double the S&P 500's 7.4% annual return over the same period.

According to How to Beat the Market with the Sloan Ratio:

If the Sloan Ratio is between -10% and 10%, the company is in the safe zone and there is no funny business with accruals.

If the Sloan Ratio is less than between -25% and -10% on the negative side, and between 10% and 25% on the positive side, this is a warning stage of accrual build up.

If the Sloan Ratio is less than -25% or greater than 25%, and this ratio is consistent over several quarters or even years, be careful. Earnings are highly likely to be made up of accruals.

As of Dec. 2023, Advanced Micro Devices has a Sloan Ratio of 0.90%, indicating the company is in the safe zone and there is no funny business with accruals.
