Gulfport Energy Corporation (NYSE:GPOR) Stock Has Shown Weakness Lately But Financials Look Strong: Should Prospective Shareholders Make The Leap?
With its stock down 4.4% over the past month, it is easy to disregard Gulfport Energy (NYSE:GPOR). However, a closer look at its sound financials might cause you to think again. Given that fundamentals usually drive long-term market outcomes, the company is worth looking at. In this article, we decided to focus on Gulfport Energy's ROE.
由於其股價在過去一個月中下跌了4.4％，很容易忽視格爾夫波特能源（紐約證券交易所代碼：GPOR）。但是，仔細觀察其良好的財務狀況可能會讓你重新考慮。鑑於基本面通常會推動長期市場業績，該公司值得關注。在本文中，我們決定重點關注格爾夫波特能源的投資回報率。
Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.
股本回報率或投資回報率是用於評估公司管理層利用公司資本效率的關鍵指標。簡而言之，投資回報率顯示了每美元從其股東投資中產生的利潤。
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 Gulfport Energy is:
因此，根據上述公式，格爾夫波特能源的投資回報率爲：
45% = US$1b ÷ US$2.2b (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2024).
45% = 10億美元 ÷ 22億美元（基於截至2024年3月的過去十二個月）。
The 'return' is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. Another way to think of that is that for every $1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn $0.45 in profit.
“回報” 是過去十二個月的稅後收入。另一種思考方式是，每持有價值1美元的股權，該公司就能獲得0.45美元的利潤。
What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?
投資回報率與收益增長有什麼關係？
So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. Based on how much of its profits the company chooses to reinvest or "retain", we are then able to evaluate a company's future ability to generate profits. Assuming all else is equal, companies that have both a higher return on equity and higher profit retention are usually the ones that have a higher growth rate when compared to companies that don't have the same features.
到目前爲止，我們已經了解到，投資回報率是衡量公司盈利能力的指標。根據公司選擇將多少利潤進行再投資或 “保留”，我們便能夠評估公司未來創造利潤的能力。假設其他條件都一樣，與功能不相同的公司相比，具有更高股本回報率和更高利潤保留率的公司通常具有更高的增長率。
