Investing in Copart (NASDAQ:CPRT) Five Years Ago Would Have Delivered You a 173% Gain

Investing in Copart (NASDAQ:CPRT) Five Years Ago Would Have Delivered You a 173% Gain

五年前投資科帕特(納斯達克:CPRT)將爲您帶來173%的收益

The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT) share price has soared 173% in the last half decade. Most would be very happy with that. On top of that, the share price is up 21% in about a quarter. But this move may well have been assisted by the reasonably buoyant market (up 8.7% in 90 days).

在任何股票上,你最多能損失的(假設你不使用槓桿)是你資金的100%。但當你選擇一個真正繁榮的公司時,你可以獲得超過100%的收益。例如,科帕特公司(納斯達克:CPRT)的股價在過去五年中上漲了173%。大多數人對此都會感到非常滿意。 此外,股價在大約一個季度內上漲了21%。 但這一波動可能受到了相對活躍的市場(在90天內上漲了8.7%)的推動。

With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.

鑑於此,值得看看該公司的基本面是否一直是長期業績的驅動因素,或者是否存在一些不一致之處。

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

無可否認,市場有時是有效的,但價格並不總是反映基礎業務的表現。一種檢查市場情緒隨時間變化的方法是觀察公司股價與每股收益(EPS)之間的互動。

Over half a decade, Copart managed to grow its earnings per share at 14% a year. This EPS growth is lower than the 22% average annual increase in the share price. This suggests that market participants hold the company in higher regard, these days. That's not necessarily surprising considering the five-year track record of earnings growth.

在過去五年中,科帕特公司的每股收益年增長率爲14%。這個每股收益的增長低於股價年均22%的漲幅。這表明市場參與者如今對公司有更高的看重。這並不令人驚訝,因爲五年的盈利增長記錄令人滿意。

It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Copart's earnings, revenue and cash flow.

值得注意的是,這位CEO的薪酬低於同類公司中位數。關注CEO薪酬總是值得的,但更重要的問題是公司是否會在未來幾年持續增長營業收入。通過查看科帕特的盈利、營業收入和現金流的交互圖表,深入探索盈利情況。

A Different Perspective

不同的視角

Copart shareholders gained a total return of 26% during the year. But that return falls short of the market. The silver lining is that the gain was actually better than the average annual return of 22% per year over five year. This could indicate that the company is winning over new investors, as it pursues its strategy. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Case in point: We've spotted 1 warning sign for Copart you should be aware of.

科帕特的股東在過去一年中獲得了26%的總回報。但這一回報未能超過市場。喜憂參半的是,這一收益實際上好於過去五年平均每年22%的年回報。這可能表明,隨着公司追求其策略,它正在贏得新投資者。我發現從長遠來看觀察股價作爲業務表現的代理非常有趣。但要真正獲得洞察,我們還需要考慮其他信息。例如:我們發現了一個需要您注意的科帕特的警告信號。
