Here's Why We Think Otis Worldwide (NYSE:OTIS) Is Well Worth Watching
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. Loss making companies can act like a sponge for capital - so investors should be cautious that they're not throwing good money after bad.
一些投機者對於能夠逆轉命運的公司感到興奮，因此即使是沒有營業收入、沒有利潤和持續虧損的公司也能夠找到投資者。有時這些故事會迷惑投資者的判斷，導致他們出於情感而非優秀公司基本面的價值投資。虧損的公司會像資本吸盤一樣，所以投資者應該小心不要在失敗的公司上浪費好的錢。
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 Otis Worldwide (NYSE:OTIS). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it.
如果這種公司不符合您的口味，您喜歡創造營業收入甚至盈利的公司，那麼您可能會對奧的斯（紐交所：OTIS）感興趣。雖然利潤並不是投資時應考慮的唯一指標，但是值得注意的是，可以持續產生利潤的企業。
How Fast Is Otis Worldwide Growing?
奧的斯增長有多快？
If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. So it makes sense that experienced investors pay close attention to company EPS when undertaking investment research. Over the last three years, Otis Worldwide has grown EPS by 13% per year. That's a pretty good rate, if the company can sustain it.
如果您相信市場即便是稍微有效，那麼從長期來看，您會期望公司的股價跟隨其每股收益（EPS）的表現而變化。因此，有經驗的投資者在進行投資研究時會密切關注公司的EPS。在過去的三年中，奧的斯每年的EPS增長了13％。如果該公司能夠保持這樣的增長率，那麼這是一個相當好的增長速度。
Top-line growth is a great indicator that growth is sustainable, and combined with a high earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margin, it's a great way for a company to maintain a competitive advantage in the market. Otis Worldwide maintained stable EBIT margins over the last year, all while growing revenue 5.0% to US$14b. That's a real positive.
收入增長是可持續增長的重要指標，而結合較高的利潤率，這是公司在市場上保持競爭優勢的一個很好的方式。奧的斯在過去一年中保持了穩定的EBIT利潤率，同時營收增長了5.0％至140億美元。這是一個真正的積極因素。

Are Otis Worldwide Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
奧的斯公司內部人與所有股東保持一致嗎？
Owing to the size of Otis Worldwide, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a significant proportion of the company. But we are reassured by the fact they have invested in the company. Indeed, they hold US$43m worth of its stock. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. Despite being just 0.1% of the company, the value of that investment is enough to show insiders have plenty riding on the venture.
由於奧的斯公司規模較大，我們不會預期內部人員持有公司的大部分股份。但我們對他們已經投資了該公司感到放心。實際上，他們持有價值4300萬美元的股票。這是一筆不少的、讓他們努力工作的潛在報酬。儘管僅佔公司的0.1％，但這份投資的價值足以表明內部人員有足夠多的衝刺創業公司的動力。
Is Otis Worldwide Worth Keeping An Eye On?
