Here's Why Gap (NYSE:GAP) Has Caught The Eye Of Investors

Here's Why Gap (NYSE:GAP) Has Caught The Eye Of Investors

這就是爲什麼Gap(紐交所:GAP)引起了投資者的關注
Simply Wall St ·  09/30 08:12

The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. Unfortunately, these high risk investments often have little probability of ever paying off, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.

對於一些投機者來說,投資於能夠扭轉其命運的公司的興奮感非常大,因此即使沒有營業收入、沒有盈利和沒有實現預期的記錄,也能夠找到投資者。不幸的是,這些高風險投資往往幾乎沒有支付的可能性,許多投資者付出代價來吸取教訓。一個虧損的公司還沒有通過盈利證明自己,外部資金的流入最終可能會枯竭。

So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn't suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Gap (NYSE:GAP). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Gap with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.

如果高風險高回報的概念不適合您,您可能更感興趣的是像Gap(紐交所: GAP)這樣的盈利能力強、增長迅速的公司。即使市場認爲該公司價值合理,投資者也會同意,持續產生利潤將繼續爲Gap提供增加股東長期價值的手段。

Gap's Improving Profits

Gap的利潤改善

Even modest earnings per share growth (EPS) can create meaningful value, when it is sustained reliably from year to year. So EPS growth can certainly encourage an investor to take note of a stock. It is awe-striking that Gap's EPS went from US$0.29 to US$2.04 in just one year. Even though that growth rate may not be repeated, that looks like a breakout improvement.

即使是適度的每股收益(EPS)增長也能創造有意義的價值,當這種增長可靠持續時。因此,EPS增長肯定會鼓勵投資者注意股票。令人驚歎的是,Gap的EPS僅在短短一年內從0.29美元增長到2.04美元。儘管這種增長率可能不會重複,但看起來像是突破性的提高。

One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. This approach makes Gap look pretty good, on balance; although revenue is flattish, EBIT margins improved from 2.2% to 6.3% in the last year. Which is a great look for the company.

覈對公司增長的一種方法是觀察其營業收入和息稅前利潤(EBIT)毛利率的變化。總體看來,這種方法使Gap看起來相當不錯;儘管營收基本持平,但EBIT毛利率在過去一年從2.2%提高到6.3%。這對公司來說是個好跡象。
