With its stock down 8.1% over the past three months, it is easy to disregard Standard Motor Products (NYSE:SMP). It seems that the market might have completely ignored the positive aspects of the company's fundamentals and decided to weigh-in more on the negative aspects. Stock prices are usually driven by a company's financial performance over the long term, and therefore we decided to pay more attention to the company's financial performance. Specifically, we decided to study Standard Motor Products' ROE in this article.

在過去三個月裏,Standard Motor Products(紐交所:SMP)的股票下跌了8.1%。看起來市場可能完全忽略了公司基本面的積極方面,而更傾向於關注消極方面。股票價格通常受公司長期財務業績的驅動,因此我們決定更加關注公司的財務表現。具體來說,我們決定在本文中研究Standard Motor Products的ROE。

ROE or return on equity is a useful tool to assess how effectively a company can generate returns on the investment it received from its shareholders. Put another way, it reveals the company's success at turning shareholder investments into profits.

ROE即股東權益回報率,是評估公司如何有效地生成股東投資回報的有用工具。換句話說,它揭示了公司將股東投資轉化爲利潤的成功程度。

How Do You Calculate Return On Equity?

如何計算股本回報率?

The formula for return on equity is:

股東權益回報率的公式是:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

股東權益回報率 = 淨利潤(來自持續運營)÷ 股東權益

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Standard Motor Products is:

因此,根據上述公式,Standard Motor Products的ROE爲:

9.6% = US$62m ÷ US$653m (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2024).

9.6% = US$6200萬 ÷ US$65300萬(基於截至2024年9月的過去十二個月)。

The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. So, this means that for every $1 of its shareholder's investments, the company generates a profit of $0.10.

「收益」是業務在過去一年中賺取的收入。因此,這意味着對於每位股東投資的$1,公司產生了$0.10的利潤。

What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?

roe與盈利增長有何關係?

So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. Based on how much of its profits the company chooses to reinvest or "retain", we are then able to evaluate a company's future ability to generate profits. Assuming all else is equal, companies that have both a higher return on equity and higher profit retention are usually the ones that have a higher growth rate when compared to companies that don't have the same features.

到目前爲止,我們了解到ROE是衡量公司盈利能力的一種指標。基於公司選擇再投資或「保留」的利潤,我們能夠評估公司未來產生利潤的能力。在其他條件相等的情況下,具有更高股本回報率和更高利潤留存的公司通常相比那些沒有相同特徵的公司擁有更高的增長率。

Standard Motor Products' Earnings Growth And 9.6% ROE

Standard Motor Products的盈利增長和9.6% ROE

When you first look at it, Standard Motor Products' ROE doesn't look that attractive. Yet, a closer study shows that the company's ROE is similar to the industry average of 11%. But Standard Motor Products saw a five year net income decline of 3.7% over the past five years. Bear in mind, the company does have a slightly low ROE. Hence, this goes some way in explaining the shrinking earnings.

乍一看,Standard Motor Products的ROE似乎並不吸引人。然而,仔細研究會發現,該公司的ROE與行業平均水平11%相似。但Standard Motor Products在過去五年中淨利潤下降了3.7%。請記住,該公司的ROE略低。因此,這在一定程度上解釋了盈利的減少。

However, when we compared Standard Motor Products' growth with the industry we found that while the company's earnings have been shrinking, the industry has seen an earnings growth of 14% in the same period. This is quite worrisome.

然而,當我們將Standard Motor Products的增長與行業進行比較時,我們發現儘管該公司的盈利在減少,但行業在同一時期的盈利增長達到了14%。這相當令人擔憂。

Earnings growth is a huge factor in stock valuation. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. By doing so, they will have an idea if the stock is headed into clear blue waters or if swampy waters await. One good indicator of expected earnings growth is the P/E ratio which determines the price the market is willing to pay for a stock based on its earnings prospects. So, you may want to check if Standard Motor Products is trading on a high P/E or a low P/E, relative to its industry.

盈利增長是股票估值的一個重要因素。投資者應該嘗試確定預期的盈利增長或下降,究竟是否已反映在價格中。通過這樣做,他們將能夠了解這隻股票是走向一片澄清的海域還是面臨沼澤。而一個良好的預期盈利增長的指標是市盈率,它決定了市場根據盈利預期願意爲一隻股票支付的價格。因此,你可能想要檢查一下Standard Motor Products的市盈率是高還是低,相對於其行業。

Is Standard Motor Products Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?

Standard Motor Products是否有效地再投資其利潤?

Despite having a normal three-year median payout ratio of 37% (where it is retaining 63% of its profits), Standard Motor Products has seen a decline in earnings as we saw above. So there could be some other explanations in that regard. For instance, the company's business may be deteriorating.

儘管Standard Motor Products的三年中位數派息比率爲37%(保留63%的利潤),但如前所述,該公司的盈利已經出現下降。因此,可能還有其他解釋。例如,公司業務可能正在惡化。

Additionally, Standard Motor Products has paid dividends over a period of at least ten years, which means that the company's management is determined to pay dividends even if it means little to no earnings growth.

此外,Standard Motor Products在至少十年間支付了分紅,這意味着公司管理層決心支付分紅,即使這意味着盈利增長微乎其微。
