Investors in Universal Health Services (NYSE:UHS) Have Seen Favorable Returns of 78% Over the Past Year
Passive investing in index funds can generate returns that roughly match the overall market. But one can do better than that by picking better than average stocks (as part of a diversified portfolio). For example, the Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE:UHS) share price is up 77% in the last 1 year, clearly besting the market return of around 23% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! It is also impressive that the stock is up 52% over three years, adding to the sense that it is a real winner.

Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
现在值得更详细地了解该公司的基本面,因为这将帮助我们判断长期股东回报是否与基础业务的表现相匹配。
In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
在他的文章《格雷厄姆-多德斯维尔的超级投资人》中,沃伦·巴菲特描述了股票价格并不总是理性地反映公司价值的情况。一种有缺陷但合理的评估公司情绪如何变化的方法是将每股收益(EPS)与股票价格进行比较。
Universal Health Services was able to grow EPS by 42% in the last twelve months. The share price gain of 77% certainly outpaced the EPS growth. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it a year ago.
universal health services能够在过去十二个月将每股收益增长42%。77%的股价涨幅显然超过了每股收益的增长。因此可以合理地假设市场对这家企业的看法比一年前更高。

It's good to see that Universal Health Services has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 78% in the last twelve months. And that does include the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 10% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for Universal Health Services that you should be aware of.
很高兴看到Universal Health Services在过去十二个月里将总股东回报率提高了78%。而且这已经包括了股息。相比过去半个十年的年化回报率为10%,这意味着公司最近的表现更好。在最好的情况下,这可能暗示着一些真正的业务势头,说明现在深入研究可能是一个很好的时机。虽然考虑到市场状况对股价的影响是非常值得的,但还有其他更重要的因素。例如,我们已经发现了Universal Health Services存在1个警示信号,您应该注意。
