As WEX (NYSE:WEX) Advances 3.3% This Past Week, Investors May Now Be Noticing the Company's Five-year Earnings Growth
The main aim of stock picking is to find the market-beating stocks. But in any portfolio, there will be mixed results between individual stocks. At this point some shareholders may be questioning their investment in WEX Inc. (NYSE:WEX), since the last five years saw the share price fall 17%. In the last ninety days we've seen the share price slide 25%.
股票選擇的主要目的是尋找市場超越的股票。但在任何投資組合中,個別股票的表現將存在差異。此時,一些股東可能正在質疑他們在wex inc(紐交所:wex)的投資,因爲過去五年,股價下跌了17%。在過去的九十天中,我們已經看到股價下跌了25%。
While the last five years has been tough for WEX shareholders, this past week has shown signs of promise. So let's look at the longer term fundamentals and see if they've been the driver of the negative returns.
儘管過去五年對WEX股東來說很艱難,但過去一週顯示出了跡象。因此,讓我們看看更長期的基本面,看看它們是否是負回報的驅動因素。
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. 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.
市場有時候是有效的,但價格並不總是反映公司的基本業務表現。通過比較每股收益和股價變化,我們可以了解投資者對公司的看法如何隨着時間變化而變化。
WEX became profitable within the last five years. Most would consider that to be a good thing, so it's counter-intuitive to see the share price declining. Other metrics might give us a better handle on how its value is changing over time.
WEX在過去五年內實現了盈利。大多數人會認爲這是一件好事,所以看到股價下跌是不符合直覺的。其他指標可能更好地幫助我們掌握其價值的變化。
In contrast to the share price, revenue has actually increased by 12% a year in the five year period. A more detailed examination of the revenue and earnings may or may not explain why the share price languishes; there could be an opportunity.
與股價相反,在過去的五年中,營業收入實際上每年增加了12%。更詳細地考察營收和利潤可能或可能不會解釋股價疲軟的原因;這可能是一個機會。

A Different Perspective
不同的觀點
WEX shareholders gained a total return of 2.0% during the year. But that was short of the market average. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 3% endured over half a decade. So this might be a sign the business has turned its fortunes around. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand WEX better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks, for example - WEX has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.
WEX股東在今年獲得了總回報率爲2.0%。但是這仍低於市場平均水平。好的一面是,仍然可以獲利,並且股價表現肯定比過去五年承受的大約3%的年度虧損要好。因此,這可能是企業扭轉命運的跡象。跟蹤股價的長期表現總是很有趣的。但要更好地了解WEX,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。例如,要承擔風險——WEX有1個警告標誌,我們認爲您應該意識到。
