We Like PPL's (NYSE:PPL) Earnings For More Than Just Statutory Profit
PPL Corporation's (NYSE:PPL) recent earnings report didn't offer any surprises, with the shares unchanged over the last week. Our analysis suggests that shareholders might be missing some positive underlying factors in the earnings report.
PPL公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:PPL)最近的收益報告沒有任何意外,上週股價保持不變。我們的分析表明,股東在收益報告中可能遺漏了一些積極的潛在因素。
The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
不尋常物品對利潤的影響
For anyone who wants to understand PPL's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit was reduced by US$232m due to unusual items. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. If PPL doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.
對於任何想了解PPL超出法定數字的利潤的人來說,值得注意的是,在過去的十二個月中,由於不尋常的項目,法定利潤減少了2.32億美元。看到不尋常的項目使公司利潤付出代價從來都不是一件好事,但從好的方面來看,情況可能遲早會好轉。當我們分析全球絕大多數上市公司時,我們發現重大不尋常的事項往往不會重演。鑑於這些單列項目被認爲不尋常,這並不奇怪。如果PPL沒有看到這些不尋常的支出重演,那麼在其他條件相同的情況下,我們預計其利潤將在來年增加。
