Book To Bill Ratio
Definition of Book To Bill Ratio
Book to Bill ratio is the value you get by dividing the total worth of new orders received by the total worth of orders sold. The formula to calculate Book to Bill ratio is:
Book to Bill ratio: Total worth of new orders received / Total worth of orders billed
Book to Bill ratio helps companies understand the demand and supply for their goods or services. A Book to Bill ratio of more than 1 means that there’s more demand and less supply.
Whereas, a Book to Bill ratio of less than 1 means that there’s less demand and more supply. Using these indicators, the company can work on increasing or limiting production.

Mid-Cap
Mid-Cap companies are those ranked 101 to 250 by market capitalisation in the overall market. They are generally larger and more stable than small-cap companies while still offering higher growth potential than large-cap stocks. Mid-cap stocks often appeal to investors seeking a balance between growth opportunities and risk.
Market Out Clause
Market Out Clause is a provision in a contract that allows a party, usually an underwriter or buyer, to withdraw from or renegotiate a deal if major market conditions change suddenly. It protects parties from unexpected events like market crashes, extreme volatility, or economic shocks that could significantly affect the value or feasibility of the transaction.
Paper Profit/Loss
Paper profit or loss ( Unrealised profit or loss) is the profit or loss on an investment that has not been converted into actual cash. Paper profit occurs when the current market value of a security is higher than its purchase price while when the current market value of a security is less than its purchase price, it is paper loss. The profit or loss is only realised when the investor sells the security, thus it is also called paper trading and virtual trading. Indian tax laws don't tax profits on paper until realised through sale.
Market Maker
A market maker is an individual or a firm that continuously quotes bid (buy) and ask (sell) prices in order to provide liquidity and ensure smooth trading. They act as intermediaries, buying from sellers and selling to buyers from their own inventory, which facilitates smooth, efficient trading and reduces price volatility for other investors. This role is generally played by financial institutions like brokerage firms or investment banks.
EBITDA MARGIN
EBITDA margin is the ratio of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) by revenue, represented as a percentage. It is used to understand whether a company is profitable and as a valuation technique.
The formula to calculate EBITDA margin is: EBITDA Margin = (EBITDA/Revenue)*100
Just like EBITDA, the EBITDA margin also excludes non-cash expenses. That’s why a positive EBITDA margin doesn’t necessarily mean that a company is profitable.
