The 6.1% Return This Week Takes Pinterest's (NYSE:PINS) Shareholders Five-year Gains to 77%
When you buy and hold a stock for the long term, you definitely want it to provide a positive return. Better yet, you'd like to see the share price move up more than the market average. But Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS) has fallen short of that second goal, with a share price rise of 77% over five years, which is below the market return. Unfortunately the share price is down 8.7% in the last year.
当你长期持有一只股票时,你当然希望它能够提供正收益。更好的是,你希望看到其股价上涨超过市场平均水平。然而,Pinterest, Inc. (纽交所:PINS) 在这方面没有达到第二个目标,五年来其股价上涨了77%,低于市场回报。不幸的是,过去一年股价下跌了8.7%。
On the back of a solid 7-day performance, let's check what role the company's fundamentals have played in driving long term shareholder returns.
在稳健的7天表现的基础上,让我们检查一下公司的基本面在推动长期股东回报中发挥了什么作用。
While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
尽管高效市场假说仍然在一些地方被教授,但研究证明市场是过度反应的动态系统,投资者并不总是理性。通过比较每股收益(EPS)和股价随时间的变化,我们可以感受到投资者对公司的态度如何随着时间的推移而变化。
During the five years of share price growth, Pinterest moved from a loss to profitability. That's generally thought to be a genuine positive, so investors may expect to see an increasing share price.
在股价增长的五年中,Pinterest 从亏损转为盈利。这通常被认为是一个真正的积极因素,因此投资者可能期待看到股价持续上升。

It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Pinterest's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
值得注意的是,CEO的薪酬低于同类公司中位数。但虽然CEO薪酬总是值得关注,真正重要的问题是公司能否在未来实现盈利增长。通过查看Pinterest盈利、营业收入和现金流的互动图表,深入了解盈利情况。

Pinterest shareholders are down 8.7% for the year, but the market itself is up 34%. 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. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 12% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. You might want to assess this data-rich visualization of its earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Pinterest的股东今年下跌了8.7%,但市场本身上涨了34%。即使是优质股票的股价有时也会下跌,但我们希望在过于关注之前,看到公司基本指标的改善。好的一面是,长期股东在过去五年中每年获得了12%的收益。最近的卖出可能是一个机会,因此值得检查基本数据以寻找长期增长趋势的迹象。您可能想评估这份数据丰富的可视化盈利、营业收入和现金流图表。
