Returns At Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG) Appear To Be Weighed Down

Returns At Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG) Appear To Be Weighed Down

Scotts Miracle-Gro(紐交所:SMG)的回報似乎受到壓制

What are the early trends we should look for to identify a stock that could multiply in value over the long term? Firstly, we'll want to see a proven return on capital employed (ROCE) that is increasing, and secondly, an expanding base of capital employed. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. Having said that, from a first glance at Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG) we aren't jumping out of our chairs at how returns are trending, but let's have a deeper look.

我們應該關注哪些早期趨勢,以確定一家可能在長期內價值倍增的股票?首先,我們希望看到資本僱用回報率(ROCE)不斷增長,並且資本僱用基礎在擴大。最終,這表明這是一家以遞增的回報率再投資利潤的企業。話雖如此,剛開始看斯科特斯奇蹟生長公司(NYSE:SMG),我們並沒有因爲回報率的趨勢而驚訝不已,但讓我們深入研究一下。

What Is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)?

我們對 Enphase Energy 的資本僱用回報率的看法:正如我們上面看到的,Enphase Energy 的資本回報率沒有提高,但它正在重新投資於業務。投資者必須認爲未來會有更好的前景,因爲股票表現良好,使持股五年以上的股東獲得了 690% 的收益。最終,如果基本趨勢持續存在,我們不會對它成爲一隻多頭股持有期很久很有信心。

For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Scotts Miracle-Gro is:

對於那些不確定什麼是ROCE的人,它衡量了一家公司可以從其業務中所使用的資本創造的稅前利潤數量。斯科特斯奇蹟生長公司的這個計算公式是:

Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)

資本利用率 = 利息和稅前利潤(EBIT) ÷ (總資產 - 流動負債)

0.17 = US$355m ÷ (US$2.9b - US$750m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2024).

0.17 = 35500萬美元 ÷ (29億美元 - 7.5億美元)(基於截至2024年9月的過去十二個月)。

So, Scotts Miracle-Gro has an ROCE of 17%. On its own, that's a standard return, however it's much better than the 8.6% generated by the Chemicals industry.

因此,斯科特斯奇蹟生長公司的ROCE爲17%。單獨看來,這是一個標準的回報率,但這比化學品行業創造的8.6%要好得多。

What Can We Tell From Scotts Miracle-Gro's ROCE Trend?

從Scotts Miracle-Gro的ROCE趨勢中我們可以得出什麼結論?

Things have been pretty stable at Scotts Miracle-Gro, with its capital employed and returns on that capital staying somewhat the same for the last five years. This tells us the company isn't reinvesting in itself, so it's plausible that it's past the growth phase. So unless we see a substantial change at Scotts Miracle-Gro in terms of ROCE and additional investments being made, we wouldn't hold our breath on it being a multi-bagger. With fewer investment opportunities, it makes sense that Scotts Miracle-Gro has been paying out a decent 60% of its earnings to shareholders. Given the business isn't reinvesting in itself, it makes sense to distribute a portion of earnings among shareholders.

在Scotts Miracle-Gro,資本使用和資本回報率在過去五年裏保持相對穩定。這告訴我們公司沒有在自身投資,因此很可能已經過了增長階段。所以,除非我們看到Scotts Miracle-Gro在ROCE和額外投資方面出現實質性變化,我們不會對其成爲翻倍股抱有期待。由於投資機會較少,Scotts Miracle-Gro將60%的利潤分配給股東是合理的。考慮到公司沒有在自身投資,將一部分利潤分配給股東是合理的。
