Does Aramark (NYSE:ARMK) Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?
For beginners, it can seem like a good idea (and an exciting prospect) to buy a company that tells a good story to investors, even if it currently lacks a track record of revenue and profit. Unfortunately, these high risk investments often have little probability of ever paying off, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson. Loss-making companies are always racing against time to reach financial sustainability, so investors in these companies may be taking on more risk than they should.
對於初學者來說,購買那些向投資者講述好故事的公司看起來可能是一個好主意(也是一個令人興奮的前景),即使它當前缺乏營收和利潤的記錄。不幸的是,這些高風險的投資通常幾乎沒有任何回報的可能性,許多投資者爲此而付出代價。虧損企業始終在爭分奪秒地追求實現財務可持續性,因此這些公司的投資者可能承擔了比他們應承擔的風險要大。
If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Aramark (NYSE:ARMK). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it.
如果這類公司不是您的風格,您喜歡能夠產生營業收入,甚至盈利的公司,那麼您可能會對aramark(紐交所:armk)感興趣。雖然盈利不是投資時應考慮的唯一指標,但值得注意的是能夠持續產生盈利的企業。
Aramark's Improving Profits
Aramark的利潤增長
Aramark has undergone a massive growth in earnings per share over the last three years. So much so that this three year growth rate wouldn't be a fair assessment of the company's future. As a result, we'll zoom in on growth over the last year, instead. Aramark's EPS has risen over the last 12 months, growing from US$1.58 to US$1.80. That's a 14% gain; respectable growth in the broader scheme of things.
Aramark的每股收益在過去三年內發生了巨大的增長。這樣的增長率並不能公正地評估公司的未來。因此,我們將關注最近一年的增長。Aramark在過去12個月中的每股收益有所上升,從1.58美元增長到1.80美元。這是14%的增長,在更廣泛的方案中是可觀的增長。
Top-line growth is a great indicator that growth is sustainable, and combined with a high earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margin, it's a great way for a company to maintain a competitive advantage in the market. The good news is that Aramark is growing revenues, and EBIT margins improved by 2.2 percentage points to 5.7%, over the last year. Both of which are great metrics to check off for potential growth.
營收增長是一個很好的指標,表明增長是可持續的,並且與高利潤之前的利潤和稅之比(EBIT)保持競爭優勢的公司的市場表現良好。好消息是,Aramark在增長營收,在過去一年中EBIT的利潤率提高了2.2個百分點,達到了5.7%。這兩個指標對於潛在的增長是很好的指標。

Are Aramark Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
Aramark內部分享持有者的利益是否一致?
Since Aramark has a market capitalisation of US$9.5b, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a large percentage of shares. But we are reassured by the fact they have invested in the company. To be specific, they have US$46m worth of shares. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. Even though that's only about 0.5% of the company, it's enough money to indicate alignment between the leaders of the business and ordinary shareholders.
由於Aramark的市值達到了9.5億美元,我們不應該指望內部人士持有大量股份。但是,內部人士投資於公司是令人放心的。具體來說,他們持有價值4600萬美元的股票。這是一筆可觀的資金,也是努力工作的不小動力。儘管僅佔公司的0.5%,但足以表明業務負責人和普通股東之間的利益一致。
