Sprouts Farmers Market（納斯達克股票代碼：SFM）的股票在過去三個月中上漲了30％。鑑於該公司的出色表現，我們決定更仔細地研究其財務指標，因爲公司的長期財務狀況通常決定市場業績。具體而言，我們決定在本文中研究豆芽農貿市場的投資回報率。
ROE or return on equity is a useful tool to assess how effectively a company can generate returns on the investment it received from its shareholders. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital.
ROE或股本回報率是評估公司如何有效地從股東那裏獲得的投資中獲得回報的有用工具。簡而言之，它用於評估公司相對於其股權資本的盈利能力。
How To Calculate Return On Equity?
如何計算股本回報率？
The formula for ROE is:
ROE 的公式是：
Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity
股本回報率 = 淨利潤（來自持續經營業務）÷ 股東權益
So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Sprouts Farmers Market is:
因此，根據上述公式，Sprouts農貿市場的投資回報率爲：
25% = US$297m ÷ US$1.2b (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2024).
25% = 2.97億美元 ÷ 12億美元（基於截至2024年3月的過去十二個月）。
The 'return' is the profit over the last twelve months. One way to conceptualize this is that for each $1 of shareholders' capital it has, the company made $0.25 in profit.
“回報” 是過去十二個月的利潤。對此進行概念化的一種方法是，該公司每擁有1美元的股東資本，就能獲得0.25美元的利潤。
What Is The Relationship Between ROE And Earnings Growth?
投資回報率與收益增長之間有什麼關係？
Thus far, we have learned that ROE measures how efficiently a company is generating its profits. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or "retains", and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company's earnings growth potential. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics.
到目前爲止，我們已經了解到，投資回報率衡量的是公司創造利潤的效率。然後，我們能夠評估公司的收益增長潛力，具體取決於公司對這些利潤進行再投資或 “保留” 了多少及其有效性。假設其他一切保持不變，那麼與不一定具有這些特徵的公司相比，投資回報率和利潤保留率越高，公司的增長率就越高。
Sprouts Farmers Market's Earnings Growth And 25% ROE
Sprouts 農貿市場的收益增長和 25% 的投資回報率
Firstly, we acknowledge that Sprouts Farmers Market has a significantly high ROE. Additionally, the company's ROE is higher compared to the industry average of 12% which is quite remarkable. This likely paved the way for the modest 10% net income growth seen by Sprouts Farmers Market over the past five years.
首先，我們承認豆芽農貿市場的投資回報率非常高。此外，該公司的投資回報率高於行業平均水平的12％，這非常引人注目。這可能爲Sprouts農貿市場在過去五年中實現的10％的溫和淨收入增長鋪平了道路。
As a next step, we compared Sprouts Farmers Market's net income growth with the industry and were disappointed to see that the company's growth is lower than the industry average growth of 14% in the same period.
下一步，我們將Sprouts Farmers Market的淨收入增長與該行業進行了比較，並失望地看到該公司的增長低於同期14％的行業平均增長。
Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. What investors need to determine next is if the expected earnings growth, or the lack of it, is already built into the share price. By doing so, they will have an idea if the stock is headed into clear blue waters or if swampy waters await. One good indicator of expected earnings growth is the P/E ratio which determines the price the market is willing to pay for a stock based on its earnings prospects. So, you may want to check if Sprouts Farmers Market is trading on a high P/E or a low P/E, relative to its industry.
收益增長是對股票進行估值時要考慮的重要指標。投資者接下來需要確定的是，預期的收益增長或缺乏收益是否已經包含在股價中。通過這樣做，他們將知道股票是走向清澈的藍色海水還是沼澤水域在等着呢。衡量預期收益增長的一個很好的指標是市盈率，它根據收益前景決定了市場願意爲股票支付的價格。因此，您可能需要檢查Sprouts農貿市場相對於其行業的市盈率是高還是低。
