We Ran A Stock Scan For Earnings Growth And Chubb (NYSE:CB) Passed With Ease
For beginners, it can seem like a good idea (and an exciting prospect) to buy a company that tells a good story to investors, even if it currently lacks a track record of revenue and profit. Unfortunately, these high risk investments often have little probability of ever paying off, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson. Loss making companies can act like a sponge for capital - so investors should be cautious that they're not throwing good money after bad.
對於初學者來說，買一個向投資者講述好故事的公司似乎是一個好主意（也是一個令人興奮的前景），即使它目前缺少營業收入和利潤的記錄。不幸的是，這些高風險投資往往很少有可能產生回報，許多投資者付出代價來學習他們的教訓。虧損的公司可以像吸取資本的海綿一樣 - 所以投資者應謹慎，不要把好錢投進去。
Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Chubb (NYSE:CB). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Chubb with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.
儘管處於科技股藍天投資時代，但許多投資者仍採用更傳統的策略，購買像 Chubb（NYSE:CB）這樣盈利的公司股票。即使這家公司在市場上被公平地估值，投資者也會認爲產生穩定的利潤將繼續爲 Chubb 提供增加股東長期價值的手段。
How Fast Is Chubb Growing?
Chubb 的增長速度有多快？
If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. That makes EPS growth an attractive quality for any company. Impressively, Chubb has grown EPS by 21% per year, compound, in the last three years. As a general rule, we'd say that if a company can keep up that sort of growth, shareholders will be beaming.
如果您認爲市場甚至稍微有效，那麼長期來看，您應該期望公司的股價跟隨其每股收益（EPS）的結果。這使得 EPS 增長成爲任何公司都具有吸引力的品質。令人印象深刻的是，Chubb 在過去三年中以每年 21% 的複合增長率增長了 EPS。通常來說，如果一家公司能夠跟上那樣的類型的增長，股東會非常高興
One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. Chubb shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 15% to 20%, and revenue is growing. That's great to see, on both counts.
檢查一家公司增長的一種方法是查看其營業收入和利潤之前的利潤（EBIT）利潤率的變化。 Chubb 的股東可以從 EBIT 比率從 15% 增加到 20% 和營業收入增長中獲得信心。從這兩方面來看都是非常不錯的。

But thanks to their investment in the company, it's pleasing to see that there are still incentives to align their actions with the shareholders.

我們不希望看到內部人持有像 Chubb 這樣的 1090 億美元的公司的大部分股份。但由於他們對公司的投資，很高興看到仍有刺激他們的行動與股東保持一致的動力。我們注意到他們在公司的令人印象深刻的股份價值爲 5.03 億美元。我們注意到，這相當於公司的 0.5%，可能因爲 Chubb 的規模龐大而較小，但這仍然值得一提。因此，儘管他們的持股比例低，但公司管理層仍有充分的理由爲投資者提供最佳結果。
