Shareholders in Forward Air (NASDAQ:FWRD) Have Lost 69%, as Stock Drops 6.2% This Past Week
If you love investing in stocks you're bound to buy some losers. But the last three years have been particularly tough on longer term Forward Air Corporation (NASDAQ:FWRD) shareholders. Regrettably, they have had to cope with a 70% drop in the share price over that period. And over the last year the share price fell 47%, so we doubt many shareholders are delighted.
如果你熱愛投資股票,你肯定會買到一些失敗的股票。但過去三年對長揸福沃運輸公司(納斯達克:FWRD)的股東來說尤其艱難。可惜的是,他們不得不應對股價在這段時間內下跌了70%。而在過去的一年裏,股價下跌了47%,所以我們懷疑許多股東並不高興。
With the stock having lost 6.2% in the past week, it's worth taking a look at business performance and seeing if there's any red flags.
在過去一週中,股票損失了6.2%,值得關注一下業務表現,看看是否存在任何警示信號。
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 way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).
在他的文章《Graham與Doddsville的超級投資者》中,禾倫·巴菲特描述了股價並不總是理性地反映業務的價值。檢查市場情緒隨時間變化的一種方法是觀察公司的股價與每股收益(EPS)之間的互動。
Forward Air saw its share price decline over the three years in which its EPS also dropped, falling to a loss. Since the company has fallen to a loss making position, it's hard to compare the change in EPS with the share price change. However, we can say we'd expect to see a falling share price in this scenario.
福沃運輸公司的股價在過去三年中下跌,期間每股收益也下降,最終出現虧損。由於公司已經陷入虧損狀態,因此很難將每股收益的變化與股價變化進行比較。然而,我們可以說,在這種情況下,我們預計會看到股價下跌。

A Different Perspective
不同的視角
Forward Air shareholders are down 47% for the year, but the market itself is up 34%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 8% per year over five years. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Forward Air better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 2 warning signs with Forward Air (at least 1 which makes us a bit uncomfortable) , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
福沃運輸的股東今年下跌了47%,而市場本身上漲了34%。但是,請記住,即使是最好的股票,有時在十二個月的週期內也會表現不佳。遺憾的是,去年的表現結束了一段不佳的運行,股東在五年內面臨每年總損失8%。我們意識到巴倫·羅斯柴爾德曾說投資者應該在街上有血流時"買入",但我們警告投資者首先要確保他們購買的是一家高質量的企業。跟蹤股票價格的長期表現總是很有趣。但爲了更好地理解福沃運輸,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。例如,隨時存在的投資風險。我們已確定福沃運輸存在2個警告信號(至少有1個讓我們有些不安),理解它們應該成爲你投資過程的一部分。
