Does Main Street Capital (NYSE:MAIN) Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?

For beginners, it can seem like a good idea (and an exciting prospect) to buy a company that tells a good story to investors, even if it currently lacks a track record of revenue and 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.

对于初学者来说,收购一家向投资者讲述好故事的公司似乎是个好主意(也是一个令人兴奋的前景),即使该公司目前缺乏收入和利润记录。但是,正如彼得·林奇在 One Up On Wall Street 中所说的那样,“远射几乎永远不会得到回报。”亏损的公司尚未通过利润证明自己,最终外部资本的流入可能会枯竭。

In contrast to all that, many investors prefer to focus on companies like Main Street Capital (NYSE:MAIN), which has not only revenues, but also profits. Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Main Street Capital with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.

与此形成鲜明对比的是,许多投资者更愿意关注像Main Street Capital(纽约证券交易所代码:MAIN)这样的公司,这些公司不仅有收入,还有利润。即使市场对这家公司进行了合理的估值,投资者也会同意,创造稳定的利润将继续为Main Street Capital提供为股东增加长期价值的手段。

How Fast Is Main Street Capital Growing?

大街资本的增长速度有多快?

Generally, companies experiencing growth in earnings per share (EPS) should see similar trends in share price. Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. Over the last three years, Main Street Capital has grown EPS by 5.4% per year. This may not be setting the world alight, but it does show that EPS is on the upwards trend.

通常,每股收益(EPS)增长的公司的股价应该会出现类似的趋势。因此,有很多投资者喜欢购买每股收益不断增长的公司的股票。在过去的三年中,大街资本的每股收益每年增长5.4%。这可能不会点燃世界,但它确实表明每股收益呈上升趋势。

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. It's noted that Main Street Capital's revenue from operations was lower than its revenue in the last twelve months, so that could distort our analysis of its margins. While we note Main Street Capital achieved similar EBIT margins to last year, revenue grew by a solid 9.3% to US$530m. That's a real positive.

仔细检查公司增长的一种方法是查看其收入以及利息和税前收益(EBIT)利润率如何变化。值得注意的是,Main Street Capital的运营收入低于其过去十二个月的收入,因此这可能会扭曲我们对其利润率的分析。尽管我们注意到大街资本的息税前利润率与去年相似,但收入稳步增长了9.3%,达到5.3亿美元。这确实是一个积极的方面。

It's a necessity that company leaders act in the best interest of shareholders and so insider investment always comes as a reassurance to the market.

Holders should find this level of insider commitment quite encouraging, since it would ensure that the leaders of the company would also experience their success, or failure, with the stock.
