Investors are often guided by the idea of discovering 'the next big thing', even if that means buying 'story stocks' without any revenue, let alone profit. But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.' A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.
Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Delong Composite Energy Group (SZSE:000593). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business.

How Fast Is Delong Composite Energy Group Growing Its Earnings Per Share?
Over the last three years, Delong Composite Energy Group has grown earnings per share (EPS) at as impressive rate from a relatively low point, resulting in a three year percentage growth rate that isn't particularly indicative of expected future performance. So it would be better to isolate the growth rate over the last year for our analysis. It's good to see that Delong Composite Energy Group's EPS has grown from CN¥0.13 to CN¥0.14 over twelve months. That's a 15% gain; respectable growth in the broader scheme of things.
One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. Our analysis has highlighted that Delong Composite Energy Group's revenue from operations did not account for all of their revenue in the previous 12 months, so our analysis of its margins might not accurately reflect the underlying business. Delong Composite Energy Group maintained stable EBIT margins over the last year, all while growing revenue 3.0% to CN¥1.5b. That's encouraging news for the company!
