Shareholders in Zai Lab (NASDAQ:ZLAB) Have Lost 87%, as Stock Drops 12% This Past Week
It's not possible to invest over long periods without making some bad investments. But you have a problem if you face massive losses more than once in a while. So consider, for a moment, the misfortune of Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ:ZLAB) investors who have held the stock for three years as it declined a whopping 87%. That'd be enough to cause even the strongest minds some disquiet. The more recent news is of little comfort, with the share price down 49% in a year. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 36% in the last three months. We note that the company has reported results fairly recently; and the market is hardly delighted. You can check out the latest numbers in our company report. While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness.
如果不进行一些不良的投资,就不可能进行长期投资。但是,如果你不止一次地面临巨额损失,你就会遇到问题。因此,请暂时考虑一下Zai Lab Limited(纳斯达克股票代码:ZLAB)投资者的不幸,他们持有该股三年,跌幅高达87%。这足以让即使是最坚强的人也感到不安。最近的消息并不令人欣慰,股价在一年内下跌了49%。最近跌势加速,股价在过去三个月中下跌了36%。我们注意到,该公司最近公布了业绩;市场对此并不满意。你可以在我们的公司报告中查看最新的数字。虽然这样的下降绝对是沉重的打击,但金钱并不像健康和幸福那么重要。
With the stock having lost 12% in the past week, it's worth taking a look at business performance and seeing if there's any red flags.
由于该股在过去一周下跌了12%,值得一看业务表现,看看是否存在任何危险信号。
Because Zai Lab made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.
由于Zai Lab在过去十二个月中亏损,我们认为至少目前市场可能更加关注收入和收入增长。当一家公司没有盈利时,我们通常预计收入会有良好的增长。可以想象,收入的快速增长如果持续下去,通常会带来利润的快速增长。
In the last three years, Zai Lab saw its revenue grow by 45% per year, compound. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. So on the face of it we're really surprised to see the share price down 23% a year in the same time period. The share price makes us wonder if there is an issue with profitability. Sometimes fast revenue growth doesn't lead to profits. If the company is low on cash, it may have to raise capital soon.
在过去的三年中,Zai Lab的收入每年增长45%,复合增长。这远高于大多数其他盈利前公司。因此,从表面上看,看到同期股价每年下跌23%,我们感到非常惊讶。股价让我们怀疑盈利能力是否存在问题。有时,快速的收入增长并不能带来利润。如果公司现金不足,则可能必须尽快筹集资金。

A Different Perspective
不同的视角
Zai Lab shareholders are down 49% for the year, but the market itself is up 33%. 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. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Take risks, for example - Zai Lab has 2 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
Zai Lab的股东今年下跌了49%,但市场本身上涨了33%。但是,请记住,即使是最好的股票有时也会在十二个月内表现不如市场。遗憾的是,去年的业绩结束了糟糕的表现,股东在五年内每年面临8%的总亏损。我们意识到罗斯柴尔德男爵曾说过,投资者应该 “在街头流血时买入”,但我们警告说,投资者应首先确保他们购买的是高质量的企业。尽管市场状况可能对股价产生的不同影响值得考虑,但还有其他因素更为重要。例如,冒险吧——Zai Lab 有 2 个警告信号,我们认为你应该注意。
