Strong Week for Appian (NASDAQ:APPN) Shareholders Doesn't Alleviate Pain of Three-year Loss

Strong Week for Appian (NASDAQ:APPN) Shareholders Doesn't Alleviate Pain of Three-year Loss

Appian(納斯達克:APPN)股東的強勁一週未能減輕三年虧損的痛苦
Simply Wall St ·  08/30 18:27

Appian Corporation (NASDAQ:APPN) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 14% in the last quarter. Meanwhile over the last three years the stock has dropped hard. Tragically, the share price declined 70% in that time. Some might say the recent bounce is to be expected after such a bad drop. While many would remain nervous, there could be further gains if the business can put its best foot forward.

Appian Corporation (NASDAQ:APPN) 的股東們應該對股價在上個季度上漲14%感到高興。然而,在過去的三年裏,股票的價格大幅下跌。可悲的是,在那段時間裏,股價下跌了70%。有人可能會說,經歷了這樣一次糟糕的下跌後,最近的反彈是意料之中的。儘管許多人可能仍然感到不安,但如果公司能表現出色的話,可能會有進一步的收益。

While the stock has risen 5.5% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us.

雖然這支股票在過去一週上漲了5.5%,但長期股東們仍然虧損,讓我們看看基本面能給我們帶來什麼信息。

Given that Appian didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.

考慮到過去十二個月Appian沒有盈利,我們將專注於營業收入增長來快速了解其業務發展情況。一般來說,預期沒有盈利的公司每年都能實現收入增長,並且速度較快。這是因爲,如果收入增長微不足道,而且永遠沒有盈利,很難確定公司是否可持續。

Over three years, Appian grew revenue at 18% per year. That's a pretty good rate of top-line growth. So some shareholders would be frustrated with the compound loss of 19% per year. The market must have had really high expectations to be disappointed with this progress. So this is one stock that might be worth investigating further, or even adding to your watchlist.

在三年的時間裏,Appian的營業收入每年增長18%。這是一個相當不錯的營業收入增長率。因此,一些股東可能對每年19%的複利損失感到失望。市場對這種進展的期望肯定很高,以至於會感到失望。這是一個值得進一步調查甚至加入您的自選的股票。

It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. On the other hand, we think the revenue and earnings trends are much more meaningful measures of the business. So it makes a lot of sense to check out what analysts think Appian will earn in the future (free profit forecasts).

很高興看到在過去的三個月裏有一些重要的內部買入。 這是個正面的消息。另一方面,我們認爲營業收入和收益趨勢是更有意義的業務衡量標準。所以查看分析師對Appian未來盈利的預測是很有意思的(免費的利潤預測)。

A Different Perspective

不同的觀點

Appian shareholders are down 33% for the year, but the market itself is up 24%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 7% over the last half decade. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. 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. Consider risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Appian you should know about.

Appian股東今年下跌了33%,但市場本身上漲了24%。然而,記住,即使是最好的股票有時也會在十二個月的週期內表現不佳。不幸的是,去年的表現可能表明仍存在未解決的挑戰,因爲它比過去的半個十年裏的年化虧損7%更糟糕。我們意識到巴倫·羅斯柴爾德曾說投資者應該「在街上有血時買入」,但我們提醒投資者首先確保自己購買的是高質量的業務。雖然考慮市場條件對股價的不同影響是非常值得的,但還有其他更重要的因素。考慮風險,例如,每家公司都有風險,我們在Appian的情況下發現了1個警告信號,你應該了解。
