For all my warnings against watching business TV over the years (I don’t want to get started on the reasons again), I was on at ET Now yesterday to speak about long-term investing (yes, long-term investing…on business TV!). I also talked about one of my favourite subjects i.e., reading annual reports and specifically the Balance Sheet.
Here is the video of the chat (click here if you are not able to watch the video below) –
Combine this with my earlier posts on how to master analyzing the Balance Sheet – Part 1 and Part 2.
In the above chat, I talked about the annual reports of Avenue Supermarts, Symphony, and Info Edge – all of which I have analyzed and written about recently (Disclosure – I don’t own any of these stocks).
On being asked in the interview about my all-time favourite ‘annual reports,’ I mentioned Asian Paints and Titan (Disclosure – I own both these stocks, so big bias here).
Hope you find value in what I spoke, but also understand that my views were always on the annual reports and underlying businesses and never on the respective stocks.

dear Vishal,
Thanx for your valuable article.
I was reading balance sheet(FY:2016-17) of Jindal Steel & Power Ltd, For Inventories (Notes:14) Others-Inventories showing Land Bank/Project in progress*.
* Includes advance given to various companies by one of the subsidiaries of ` 393.85 crore (including interest paid by the said subsidiary) for development of land pending execution of project.
My question is “an Land can be mentioned in Inventories??” or is there any other meaning of Land bank ??
Pls advice.
Thank You Vishal,
