The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
除了稀釋之外,還應該注意的是,萬集科技在過去12個月中因不尋常項目獲得了價值人民幣3.5萬元的利潤。雖然我們希望看到利潤增加,但當這些不尋常項目對利潤做出重大貢獻時,我們會更加謹慎。我們對全球大部分上市公司的數據進行了分析,發現不尋常項目往往是一次性的。這正如我們所期望的那樣,因爲這些提升被描述爲"不尋常"。相對於其利潤而言,萬集科技在2021年12月前的不尋常項目貢獻大。因此,我們可以推斷出,這些不尋常項目正在使其財務利潤顯著增強。
Importantly, our data indicates that First Advantage's profit was reduced by US$20m, due to unusual items, over the last year. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. If First Advantage doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.
重要的是,我們的數據表明,過去一年,由於飛凡的不尋常項目,其利潤減少了2000萬美元。看到不尋常的項目導致公司利潤下降並不是件好事,但好的一面是,情況可能會很快改善。當我們分析全球絕大多數上市公司時,發現顯著的不尋常項目通常不會重複。畢竟,這正是會計術語所示的內容。如果飛凡沒有看到這些不尋常的費用重複,那麼其他所有條件都相等,我們預計其利潤在未來一年內會增加。

Our Take On First Advantage's Profit Performance
我們對First Advantage的盈利表現的看法
Because unusual items detracted from First Advantage's earnings over the last year, you could argue that we can expect an improved result in the current quarter. Based on this observation, we consider it likely that First Advantage's statutory profit actually understates its earnings potential! Better yet, its EPS are growing strongly, which is nice to see. The goal of this article has been to assess how well we can rely on the statutory earnings to reflect the company's potential, but there is plenty more to consider. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved. At Simply Wall St, we found 2 warning signs for First Advantage and we think they deserve your attention.
由於不尋常項目在過去一年中減少了飛凡的收益,因此您可以爭辯說我們可以預期當前季度的結果有所改善。根據這一觀察結果,我們認爲,飛利浦的法定利潤實際上低估了其盈利潛力!更好的是,它的每股收益正在強勁增長,這很不錯。這篇文章的目的是評估我們可以如何依靠法定收益來反映公司潛力,但還有很多其他方面需要考慮。請牢記,當分析股票時,值得注意風險。在Simply Wall St中,我們發現了2個針對First Advantage的警告信號,我們認爲它們值得您的關注。
