Strong Week for Valhi (NYSE:VHI) Shareholders Doesn't Alleviate Pain of Five-year Loss
Strong Week for Valhi (NYSE:VHI) Shareholders Doesn't Alleviate Pain of Five-year Loss
This week we saw the Valhi, Inc. (NYSE:VHI) share price climb by 19%. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last five years have been less than pleasing. After all, the share price is down 45% in that time, significantly under-performing the market.
本週我們看到Valhi, Inc.(紐約證券交易所代碼:VHI)的股價上漲了19%。但這並不能改變這樣一個事實,即過去五年的回報並不令人滿意。畢竟,當時股價下跌了45%,表現大大低於市場。
Although the past week has been more reassuring for shareholders, they're still in the red over the last five years, so let's see if the underlying business has been responsible for the decline.
儘管過去一週令股東更加放心,但在過去五年中,他們仍處於虧損狀態,所以讓我們看看基礎業務是否是造成下降的原因。
To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
引用巴菲特的話說:“船隻將在世界各地航行,但Flat Earth Society將蓬勃發展。市場上的價格和價值之間將繼續存在巨大差異...”評估公司情緒變化的一種有缺陷但合理的方法是將每股收益(EPS)與股價進行比較。
Over five years Valhi's earnings per share dropped significantly, falling to a loss, with the share price also lower. Since the company has fallen to a loss making position, it's hard to compare the change in EPS with the share price change. But we would generally expect a lower price, given the situation.
在過去的五年中,Valhi的每股收益大幅下降,跌至虧損,股價也有所下降。由於該公司已跌至虧損狀態,因此很難將每股收益的變化與股價的變化進行比較。但是,鑑於這種情況,我們通常預計價格會更低。

It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Valhi's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
可能值得注意的是,首席執行官的薪水低於類似規模公司的中位數。始終值得關注首席執行官的薪酬,但更重要的問題是公司多年來是否會增加收益。可能值得一看我們關於Valhi收益、收入和現金流的免費報告。
What About Dividends?
分紅呢?
When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. As it happens, Valhi's TSR for the last 5 years was -38%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.
在考慮投資回報時,重要的是要考慮兩者之間的區別 股東總回報 (TSR) 和 股價回報。股東總回報率是一種回報計算方法,它考慮了現金分紅的價值(假設收到的任何股息都經過再投資)以及任何貼現資本籌集和分拆的計算價值。可以說,股東總回報率更全面地描述了股票產生的回報。碰巧的是,Valhi過去5年的股東總回報率爲-38%,超過了前面提到的股價回報率。因此,該公司支付的股息提高了 總 股東回報。
A Different Perspective
不同的視角
Valhi shareholders are down 15% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 33%. 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. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 7% 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 Valhi better, we need to consider many other factors. For example, we've discovered 2 warning signs for Valhi that you should be aware of before investing here.
Valhi的股東今年下跌了15%(甚至包括股息),但市場本身上漲了33%。即使是優質股票的股價有時也會下跌,但我們希望在過於感興趣之前看到企業基本指標的改善。遺憾的是,去年的業績結束了糟糕的表現,股東在五年內每年面臨7%的總虧損。我們意識到羅斯柴爾德男爵曾說過,投資者應該 “在街頭流血時買入”,但我們警告說,投資者應首先確保他們購買的是高質量的企業。長期跟蹤股價表現總是很有意思的。但是,爲了更好地了解Valhi,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。例如,我們發現了Valhi的兩個警告信號,在這裏投資之前,您應該注意這些信號。
