        How can investors assess ever important Capital Allocation decisions of the company?

“Capital allocation is the CEO’s most important job.” William Thorndike, The Outsiders

“One major factor we analyse is capital allocation. If the company generates a lot of free cash flow and the management proceeds to waste it, that free cash flow has no value to investors.” Andrew Wellington

Capital allocation means distributing and investing a company’s financial resources in ways that will increase its efficiency, maximize its profits and increase the company’s future business value. The results of any capital allocation decision will typically be known only with the passage of time and hence it is important for investors to have a framework to analyze these decisions at the time they are taken. In one of our blogs (click here) we have discussed in detail about ‘Ansoff Matrix’ developed by H. Igor Ansoff in 1957 that investors can use to analyze and assess companies capital allocation decisions.

Using Ansoff Matrix in combination with capital committed by the company, an investor can try to assess the extent of risk in the new growth strategy i.e. risk associated with capital allocation decisions made by the company.

At Marcellus, our investment team spends a lot of time analyzing whether the company in question can manage its capital well because if a company manages capital well and delivers strong revenue, earnings and free cashflow growth, the stock will likely generate high returns to shareholders over the long-term.
