Despite Delivering Investors Losses of 15% Over the Past 3 Years, Quaker Chemical (NYSE:KWR) Has Been Growing Its Earnings

For many investors, the main point of stock picking is to generate higher returns than the overall market. But the risk of stock picking is that you will likely buy under-performing companies. Unfortunately, that's been the case for longer term Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE:KWR) shareholders, since the share price is down 18% in the last three years, falling well short of the market return of around 22%. But it's up 5.7% in the last week.

對於許多投資者來說,選股的要點是產生比整個市場更高的回報。但是選股的風險在於,你可能會買入表現不佳的公司。不幸的是,貴格化學公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:KWR)的長期股東就是這種情況,因爲股價在過去三年中下跌了18%,遠低於22%左右的市場回報率。但上週上漲了5.7%。

While the stock has risen 5.7% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us.

儘管該股在過去一週上漲了5.7%,但長期股東仍處於虧損狀態,但讓我們看看基本面能告訴我們什麼。

In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

在他的文章中 格雷厄姆和多茲維爾的超級投資者 禾倫·巴菲特描述了股價如何並不總是合理地反映企業的價值。考慮市場對公司的看法發生了怎樣的變化的一種不完美但簡單的方法是將每股收益(EPS)的變化與股價走勢進行比較。

During five years of share price growth, Quaker Chemical moved from a loss to profitability. That would generally be considered a positive, so we are surprised to see the share price is down. So given the share price is down it's worth checking some other metrics too.

在五年的股價增長中,貴格化學從虧損轉爲盈利。這通常會被視爲利好,因此我們驚訝地看到股價下跌。因此,鑑於股價下跌,還值得檢查其他一些指標。

The modest 0.9% dividend yield is unlikely to be guiding the market view of the stock. Revenue is actually up 7.8% over the three years, so the share price drop doesn't seem to hinge on revenue, either. This analysis is just perfunctory, but it might be worth researching Quaker Chemical more closely, as sometimes stocks fall unfairly. This could present an opportunity.

0.9%的適度股息收益率不太可能指導該股的市場觀點。在過去的三年中,收入實際上增長了7.8%,因此股價下跌似乎也不取決於收入。這種分析只是敷衍了事,但可能值得對貴格化學進行更仔細的研究,因爲有時股票會不公平地下跌。這可能帶來機會。

What About Dividends?

分紅呢?

When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. In the case of Quaker Chemical, it has a TSR of -15% for the last 3 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!

在考慮投資回報時,重要的是要考慮兩者之間的區別 股東總回報 (TSR) 和 股價回報。儘管股價回報率僅反映股價的變化,但股東總回報率包括股息的價值(假設已進行再投資)以及任何折扣融資或分拆的收益。可以說,股東總回報率更全面地描述了股票產生的回報。就貴格化學而言,在過去三年中,其股東回報率爲-15%。這超過了我們之前提到的其股價回報率。而且,猜測股息支付在很大程度上解釋了這種分歧是沒有好處的!

A Different Perspective

不同的視角

While the broader market gained around 30% in the last year, Quaker Chemical shareholders lost 1.2% (even including dividends). Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 1.4% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for Quaker Chemical that you should be aware of.

儘管去年整體市場上漲了約30%,但貴格化學的股東損失了1.2%(甚至包括股息)。即使是優質股票的股價有時也會下跌,但我們希望在過於感興趣之前看到企業基本指標的改善。好的一面是,長期股東賺了錢,在過去的五年中,每年增長1.4%。最近的拋售可能是一個機會,因此可能值得查看基本面數據以尋找長期增長趨勢的跡象。儘管市場狀況可能對股價產生的不同影響值得考慮,但還有其他因素更爲重要。例如,我們已經確定了貴格化學的一個警告信號,你應該注意這一點。
