The One-year Returns for Safety Insurance Group's (NASDAQ:SAFT) Shareholders Have Been , yet Its Earnings Growth Was Even Better
The One-year Returns for Safety Insurance Group's (NASDAQ:SAFT) Shareholders Have Been , yet Its Earnings Growth Was Even Better
There's no doubt that investing in the stock market is a truly brilliant way to build wealth. But if when you choose to buy stocks, some of them will be below average performers. For example, the Safety Insurance Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAFT), share price is up over the last year, but its gain of 14% trails the market return. Having said that, the longer term returns aren't so impressive, with stock gaining just 7.5% in three years.
毫無疑問,投資股市是建立財富的絕佳方式。但當你選擇購買股票時,其中一些股票的表現將低於平均水平。例如,Safety Insurance Group, Inc. (納斯達克:SAFT)的股價在過去一年上漲,但漲幅14%落後於市場回報。話雖如此,從較長期來看,該股的收益並不十分令人印象深刻,在三年內只增長了7.5%。
After a strong gain in the past week, it's worth seeing if longer term returns have been driven by improving fundamentals.
在過去的一週之內,獲得的強勁收益是否表明了長期回報受到基本面的推動值得關注。
While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).
雖然有效市場假說仍然被一些人教授,但被證明市場是過度反應的動態系統,投資者並不總是理性的。檢查市場情緒如何隨時間變化的一種方法是看一個公司的股價與其每股收益(EPS)之間的交互作用。
During the last year Safety Insurance Group grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 139%. It's fair to say that the share price gain of 14% did not keep pace with the EPS growth. Therefore, it seems the market isn't as excited about Safety Insurance Group as it was before. This could be an opportunity.
在過去一年裏,Safety Insurance Group的每股收益(EPS)增長了139%。可以說,股價漲幅14%並未跟上EPS增長的步伐。因此,市場似乎對Safety Insurance Group的熱情不再像以前那樣高漲。這可能是一個機會。

We're pleased to report that the CEO is remunerated more modestly than most CEOs at similarly capitalized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. This free interactive report on Safety Insurance Group's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.
我們很高興地報告,CEO的薪酬比同類資本化公司的大多數CEO要低。但雖然CEO的薪酬始終值得檢查,但真正重要的問題是公司未來是否能夠增長收益。如果您想進一步調查這支股票, Safety Insurance Group的營業收入、營收和現金流的這份免費互動報告是一個很好的起點。
What About Dividends?
關於分紅派息的問題
When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. We note that for Safety Insurance Group the TSR over the last 1 year was 19%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.
在考慮投資回報時,重要的是要考慮總股東回報(TSR)和股價回報之間的差異。TSR是一種回報計算,考慮到現金分紅的價值(假設任何收到的股息都已再投資)和任何貼現資本增發和剝離的計算價值。可以說TSR爲支付股息的股票提供了更完整的圖片。我們注意到,Safety Insurance Group過去1年的TSR爲19%,優於上面提到的股價回報。因此,公司支付的股息提升了總股東回報。
A Different Perspective
另一種看法
Safety Insurance Group shareholders gained a total return of 19% during the year. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. The silver lining is that the gain was actually better than the average annual return of 2% per year over five year. This suggests the company might be improving over time. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Safety Insurance Group better, we need to consider many other factors. For example, we've discovered 1 warning sign for Safety Insurance Group that you should be aware of before investing here.
Safety Insurance Group的股東在一年內獲得了19%的總回報。不幸的是,這低於市場回報。好的一面是這種獲利實際上比五年來每年2%的平均回報要好。這表明公司可能隨着時間的推移而改善。跟蹤股價長期表現總是很有趣。但要更好地理解 Safety Insurance Group,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。例如,在這裏投資之前,我們發現了Safety Insurance Group1個警告標誌,您應該注意。
