To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
用本杰明·格雷厄姆的话来说:从短期来看,市场是一台投票机器,但从长远来看,它是一台称重机。考虑市场对公司的看法发生了怎样的变化的一种不完美但简单的方法是将每股收益(EPS)的变化与股价走势进行比较。
During three years of share price growth, MRC Global moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here.

A Different Perspective

Investors in MRC Global had a tough year, with a total loss of 9.2%, against a market gain of about 10%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 6% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround.

MRC Global的投资者经历了艰难的一年,总亏损9.2%,而市场涨幅约为10%。即使是优质股票的股价有时也会下跌,但我们希望看到企业的基本指标有所改善,然后才会变得过于感兴趣。不幸的是,去年的表现可能表明挑战尚未得到解决,因为这比过去五年来6%的年化亏损还要严重。总的来说,长期股价疲软可能是一个坏兆头,尽管逆势投资者可能希望研究该股,希望出现转机。在花更多时间关注MRC Global之前,明智的做法是点击此处查看内部人士是否在买入或卖出股票。
