Saia's (NASDAQ:SAIA) Five-year Earnings Growth Trails the 43% YoY Shareholder Returns
Saia's (NASDAQ:SAIA) Five-year Earnings Growth Trails the 43% YoY Shareholder Returns
We think all investors should try to buy and hold high quality multi-year winners. While the best companies are hard to find, but they can generate massive returns over long periods. For example, the Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIA) share price is up a whopping 491% in the last half decade, a handsome return for long term holders. If that doesn't get you thinking about long term investing, we don't know what will. It's also good to see the share price up 22% over the last quarter.
我們認爲所有投資者都應該嘗試買入並持有高質量的多年贏家。雖然最好的公司很難找到,但它們可以在較長時間內產生巨大的回報。例如,Saia, Inc.(納斯達克:SAIA)的股價在過去五年內上漲了令人矚目的491%,對於長揸者來說,這是一份可觀的回報。如果這還不能讓你思考長期投資,那麼我們也不知道該說什麼了。看到股價在過去一個季度上漲22%也是件好事。
The past week has proven to be lucrative for Saia investors, so let's see if fundamentals drove the company's five-year performance.
過去一週對Saia投資者來說收益豐厚,所以讓我們看看基本面是否推動了公司五年的表現。
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
不可否認的是,市場有時是有效的,但價格並不總是反映基本的業務表現。通過比較每股收益(EPS)和股價變化,我們可以了解投資者對公司的態度是如何隨時間變化的。
Over half a decade, Saia managed to grow its earnings per share at 25% a year. This EPS growth is lower than the 43% average annual increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it did five years ago. And that's hardly shocking given the track record of growth.
在過去的五年裏,Saia成功實現了每股收益以每年25%的速度增長。這個每股收益的增長低於股價平均年增幅43%。因此,可以合理推測市場對於這家公司的看法比五年前更高。考慮到增長的業績,這並不令人感到驚訝。

We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. This free interactive report on Saia's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.
我們喜歡內部人在過去十二個月中購買股票。話雖如此,大多數人認爲每股收益和營業收入的增長趨勢是對業務更有意義的指導。如果您想進一步調查這隻股票,這份關於Saia每股收益、營業收入和現金流的免費互動報告是一個很好的開始。
A Different Perspective
不同的視角
Saia's TSR for the year was broadly in line with the market average, at 28%. It has to be noted that the recent return falls short of the 43% shareholders have gained each year, over half a decade. More recently, the share price growth has slowed. But it has to be said the overall picture is one of good long term and short term performance. Arguably that makes Saia a stock worth watching. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Saia better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 2 warning signs with Saia (at least 1 which is potentially serious) , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
Saia去年總回報率與市場平均水平大致相符,達28%。需要注意的是,最近的回報遠低於過去五年股東每年獲得的43%。最近,股價增長放緩。但必須指出,總體狀況顯示出良好的長期和短期表現。可以說,這使得Saia成爲值得關注的股票。追蹤股價的長期表現總是令人感興趣的。但爲了更好地理解Saia,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。比如,投資風險的無時無刻存在的陰影。我們已經發現Saia有兩個警告信號(至少有一個是潛在嚴重的),理解它們應該是您投資過程的一部分。
