Even After Rising 4.4% This Past Week, Liberty Latin America (NASDAQ:LILA) Shareholders Are Still Down 49% Over the Past Five Years
Even After Rising 4.4% This Past Week, Liberty Latin America (NASDAQ:LILA) Shareholders Are Still Down 49% Over the Past Five Years
It is doubtless a positive to see that the Liberty Latin America Ltd. (NASDAQ:LILA) share price has gained some 39% in the last three months. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last five years have been less than pleasing. In fact, the share price is down 49%, which falls well short of the return you could get by buying an index fund.
在过去的三个月里,自由拉丁美洲有限公司(纳斯达克:LILA)的股价上涨了39%,这无疑是个积极的信号。但在过去的五年中,回报率令人不够满意。事实上,股价下跌了49%,远远低于购买基金的回报。
Although the past week has been more reassuring for shareholders, they're still in the red over the last five years, so let's see if the underlying business has been responsible for the decline.
虽然过去一周股东的投资回报率有所缓解,但在过去五年中仍处于亏损状态,因此让我们看看这家公司的基本业务是否是导致下跌的原因。
Because Liberty Latin America made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
由于自由拉丁美洲在过去十二个月中出现亏损,我们认为市场可能更关注营业收入和收入增长,至少暂时是这样。一般而言,预计没有利润的公司每年都会增长收入,并且速度较快。这是因为快速的营收增长可以轻松推断预测利润,通常利润规模相当可观。
Over five years, Liberty Latin America grew its revenue at 5.5% per year. That's far from impressive given all the money it is losing. Given this fairly low revenue growth (and lack of profits), it's not particularly surprising to see the stock down 8% (annualized) in the same time frame. The key question is whether the company can make it to profitability, and beyond, without trouble. It could be worth putting it on your watchlist and revisiting when it makes its maiden profit.
在过去的五年中,自由拉丁美洲的营业收入年均增长5.5%。与其持续亏损相比,这远非令人印象深刻。鉴于这种相当低的营收增长率(缺乏利润),在同一时间范围内看到股价下跌8%(年化)并不令人惊讶。关键问题是,该公司能否在不遇到麻烦的情况下实现盈利并超越盈利。这也可能值得将其加入自选股,并在它首次实现盈利时重新评估。

It's probably worth noting we've seen significant insider buying in the last quarter, which we consider 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 Liberty Latin America will earn in the future (free profit forecasts).
需要注意的是,我们在上一季度看到了大量内部人士的买入行为,我们认为这是一个积极的信号。另一方面,我们认为营收和利润趋势是更有意义的业务度量标准。因此,检查分析师认为自由拉丁美洲将来能赚多少钱(自由利润预测)是非常有意义的。
A Different Perspective
不同的观点
Liberty Latin America provided a TSR of 16% over the last twelve months. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 8% endured over half a decade. It could well be that the business is stabilizing. It is all well and good that insiders have been buying shares, but we suggest you check here to see what price insiders were buying at.
在过去的十二个月中,自由拉丁美洲的TSR达到了16%。不幸的是,这还不如市场回报。但好消息是,这仍然是一个增益,股票年亏损率约为8%,这肯定比过去五年的异动好多了。此外,公司稳定下来的可能性非常高。尽管内部人士一直在买股票,但我们建议您在此处检查内部人士购买的股票价格。
Liberty Latin America is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find lesser know companies this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.
自由拉丁美洲并不是唯一一家内部人士正在购买的股票。对于那些喜欢寻找不太知名公司的人,这份近期有内部人士购买且增长迅速的公司的免费清单也许正是您需要的。
