Originally used as a data collection point for maintaining the current SSG and the summarizing PERT Report, these basic duties have been electronically automated by the computer.

There is still a tremendous amout of usefulness associated with the PERT Worksheet A.

PERT Worksheet A has been called "The Next Step Beyond the SSG" when investigating a stock. The fundamentals of the company can be seen on a "quarter over quarter" basis, "rolling 4 quarters over rolling 4 quarters" basis, or as a change in "most recent 4 quarters" growth rates for sales, pre-tax profit, and EPS.

The "Most Recent Quarter" box on the front of the SSG is the child of the PERT Worksheet A. If you see a problem in recent growth not being in line with historical growth from the SSG your first stop should be to PERT Worksheet A.

Any problems with a stock's fundamentals reported by the PERT Report during your quarterly review will also send you to PERT Worksheet A.

PERT Worksheet A's Graph

Seemingly endless rows and columns of numbers give many people MEGO. (my eyes glaze over) In the same fashion we assimilate data more easily in the visual analysis in a graphical view, we can view PERT Worksheet A's data in a graphical form too.

Unlike the visual analysis where a constant rate of growth is shown by a straight, upward sloping line, PERT Worksheet A shows a constant rate of growth as a FLAT line. The rate is represented not by the steepness of the slope of the line, but by the number at the right side of the page.

An ideal situation would be for flat or upward trending lines for all four basic fundamental. (sales, pre-tax profit, and eps growth and pre-tax profit margins)
