8x8 (NASDAQ:EGHT) Shareholders Are up 20% This Past Week, but Still in the Red Over the Last Three Years
8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT) shareholders will doubtless be very grateful to see the share price up 38% in the last month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last three years have been stomach churning. Indeed, the share price is down a whopping 89% in the last three years. So it's about time shareholders saw some gains. Of course the real question is whether the business can sustain a turnaround. While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness.
在過去的一個月中,8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT)股東肯定會非常感激股票價格上漲了38%。但這並不能改變過去三年的回報率令人心煩。事實上,股票價格在過去三年中暴跌了89%。因此,股東們有望看到一些收益。當然,真正的問題是業務能否維持好的轉變。儘管股票價格的大幅下跌必然是重創,但是相比健康和幸福,金錢並不那麼重要。
On a more encouraging note the company has added US$59m to its market cap in just the last 7 days, so let's see if we can determine what's driven the three-year loss for shareholders.
更具鼓舞的是,公司在過去7天內市值增加了5900萬美元,讓我們看看是什麼驅動了股東的三年虧損。
8x8 wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
在過去的十二個月中,8x8沒有盈利,因此其股價和每股收益(EPS)之間的強相關性不太可能出現。或許營業收入是我們的下一個最佳選擇。通常,虧損公司的股東們渴望看到強勁的營業收入增長。可以想象,快速的營收增長,如果能夠保持,通常會帶來快速的利潤增長。
Over three years, 8x8 grew revenue at 11% per year. That's a pretty good rate of top-line growth. So it seems unlikely the 24% share price drop (each year) is entirely about the revenue. It could be that the losses were much larger than expected. If you buy into companies that lose money then you always risk losing money yourself. Just don't lose the lesson.
在三年內,8x8的營業收入增長速度達到了11%每年。那是相當不錯的營收增長率。因此,24%的股價下跌似乎不完全是由於營業收入原因。可能是虧損遠遠超出預期。如果您投資於虧損公司,您總是面臨着自己虧損的風險。只是不要忘記這個教訓。

A Different Perspective
不同的觀點
Investors in 8x8 had a tough year, with a total loss of 36%, against a market gain of about 21%. 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. However, the loss over the last year isn't as bad as the 14% per annum loss investors have suffered over the last half decade. We would want clear information suggesting the company will grow, before taking the view that the share price will stabilize. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand 8x8 better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks, for example - 8x8 has 4 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
8x8的投資者度過了艱難的一年,總虧損達36%,而市場僅上漲了約21%。即使好股票的股價有時也會下跌,但在我們對一個業務的基本指標有所改善之前,我們希望看到它。但是,過去一年的虧損並不像投資者在過去半個十年中遭受的每年14%的損失那麼糟糕。在我們認爲股價將趨於穩定之前,我們需要清楚地了解公司將增長的信息。長期跟蹤股價表現總是很有趣的。但是爲了更好地了解8x8,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。例如,冒險-我們認爲8x8有4個警示信號,您應該了解。
