Strong Week for United Natural Foods (NYSE:UNFI) Shareholders Doesn't Alleviate Pain of Three-year Loss
Strong Week for United Natural Foods (NYSE:UNFI) Shareholders Doesn't Alleviate Pain of Three-year Loss
It is doubtless a positive to see that the United Natural Foods, Inc. (NYSE:UNFI) share price has gained some 46% in the last three months. Meanwhile over the last three years the stock has dropped hard. Regrettably, the share price slid 58% in that period. So it is really good to see an improvement. The rise has some hopeful, but turnarounds are often precarious.
可以看到聯合原生態食品(NYSE:UNFI)股價在過去三個月中增長了46%,這無疑是一個積極的信號。然而,在過去的三年中,股價大幅下跌。不幸的是,在那段時間裏,股價下跌了58%。因此,看到股價有所改善實在是太好了。股價的上漲有一些希望,但是逆轉經常是不可靠的。
On a more encouraging note the company has added US$92m 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.
更令人鼓舞的是,這家公司在過去7天內爲其市值增加了92百萬美元,因此讓我們看看是什麼推動了股東的三年損失。
United Natural Foods 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. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one would hope for good top-line growth to make up for the lack of earnings.
在過去的十二個月中,聯合原生態食品沒有盈利,因此其股價與每股收益(EPS)之間不太可能存在強烈相關性。營業收入可以說是我們的下一個最佳選擇。當公司沒有盈利時,我們通常希望看到良好的營業收入增長。一些公司願意推遲盈利以更快地增長營收,但在這種情況下,人們希望看到良好的營收增長來彌補缺乏收益的不足。
In the last three years, United Natural Foods saw its revenue grow by 4.6% per year, compound. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. It's likely this weak growth has contributed to an annualised return of 17% for the last three years. It can be well worth keeping an eye on growth stocks that disappoint the market, because sometimes they re-accelerate. After all, growing a business isn't easy, and the process will not always be smooth.
在過去的三年中,聯合原生態食品每年複合營業收入增長4.6%。考慮到它不盈利,這不是一個非常高的增長率。這種疲軟的增長可能導致過去三年的年化回報率爲17%。跟蹤令市場失望的成長型股票始終是值得的,因爲有時它們會重新加速。畢竟,發展業務並不容易,過程不會總是順利的。

A Different Perspective
不同的觀點
United Natural Foods shareholders are down 31% for the year, but the market itself is up 25%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 8%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand United Natural Foods better, we need to consider many other factors. For example, we've discovered 1 warning sign for United Natural Foods that you should be aware of before investing here.
聯合原生態食品股東今年已經跌了31%,但市場本身上漲了25%。但請記住,即使是最好的股票有時也會在十二個月的時間內表現不佳。長期投資者不會感到如此沮喪,因爲他們在過去五年中每年都能獲得8%的回報。如果基本數據繼續表明長期可持續增長,則當前的拋售可能值得考慮。跟蹤股價長期表現總是很有趣的。但是,要更好地了解聯合原生態食品,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。例如,我們發現了1個有關聯合原生態食品的警示信號,在此投資之前應該注意。
