Do Karooooo's (NASDAQ:KARO) Earnings Warrant Your Attention?
Do Karooooo's (NASDAQ:KARO) Earnings Warrant Your Attention?
It's common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.' While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away.
許多投資者,尤其是那些缺乏經驗的投資者,會在公司具有良好故事的情況下買入股票,即使這些公司虧損。但正如彼得·林奇在《華爾街上的贏家》一書中所說,「長期賭博幾乎從來沒有成功過」。雖然一家資金充裕的公司可能會連續數年虧損,但最終它還是需要賺錢,否則投資者將會離開,公司也會逐漸消亡。
If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Karooooo (NASDAQ:KARO). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business.
如果這種類型的公司不符合您的口味,您喜歡營業收入甚至盈利的公司,那麼您可能會對Karooooo (NASDAQ:KARO)感興趣。這並不是說該公司是最好的投資機會,但盈利能力是業務成功的關鍵組成部分。
Karooooo's Earnings Per Share Are Growing
Karooooo的每股收益正在增長
The market is a voting machine in the short term, but a weighing machine in the long term, so you'd expect share price to follow earnings per share (EPS) outcomes eventually. Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. Impressively, Karooooo has grown EPS by 21% per year, compound, in the last three years. If the company can sustain that sort of growth, we'd expect shareholders to come away satisfied.
市場在短期內是一臺投票機,但在長期內是一臺稱重機,因此您可以預期股價最終會跟隨每股收益(EPS)的結果。因此,有很多投資者喜歡購買EPS正在增長的公司的股票。令人印象深刻的是,Karooooo在過去三年中以年複合增長率爲21%增長EPS。如果該公司能夠維持這種增長,我們期待股東們會得到滿足。
Careful consideration of revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margins can help inform a view on the sustainability of the recent profit growth. Karooooo shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 24% to 26%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in our book.
仔細考慮營業收入增長和利息和稅前利潤(EBIT)利潤率,可以幫助了解最近利潤增長的可持續性。Karooooo的股東可以從EBIT利潤率從24%上升到26%並且營業收入正在增長的事實獲得信心。在我們看來,這兩個方面都打勾是增長的良好跡象。

Are Karooooo Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
Karooooo內部人士與所有股東的利益是否一致?
Seeing insiders owning a large portion of the shares on issue is often a good sign. Their incentives will be aligned with the investors and there's less of a probability in a sudden sell-off that would impact the share price. So as you can imagine, the fact that Karooooo insiders own a significant number of shares certainly is appealing. Indeed, with a collective holding of 75%, company insiders are in control and have plenty of capital behind the venture. Intuition will tell you this is a good sign because it suggests they will be incentivised to build value for shareholders over the long term. And their holding is extremely valuable at the current share price, totalling R876m. That means they have plenty of their own capital riding on the performance of the business!
看到內部人士擁有大量已發行股份的股份通常是一個好跡象。他們的激勵將與投資者保持一致,而突然拋售的概率更小,這會對股價產生影響。因此,可以想象,Karooooo內部人士擁有大量股份的事實確實很有吸引力。事實上,持有75%的股份,內部人士掌握了創業公司背後的大量資本。直覺告訴您這是一個好跡象,因爲它表明他們將有動力在長期內爲股東創造價值。他們的持股在當前股價下非常有價值,總計達到了8760萬蘭特。這意味着他們的自有資本投入了這個業務的表現!
Does Karooooo Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?
Karooooo值得進入您的自選清單嗎?
If you believe that share price follows earnings per share you should definitely be delving further into Karooooo's strong EPS growth. With EPS growth rates like that, it's hardly surprising to see company higher-ups place confidence in the company through continuing to hold a significant investment. Fast growth and confident insiders should be enough to warrant further research, so it would seem that it's a good stock to follow. You should always think about risks though. Case in point, we've spotted 3 warning signs for Karooooo you should be aware of, and 2 of them are potentially serious.
