Further Weakness as Advantage Solutions (NASDAQ:ADV) Drops 5.2% This Week, Taking Five-year Losses to 68%
Further Weakness as Advantage Solutions (NASDAQ:ADV) Drops 5.2% This Week, Taking Five-year Losses to 68%
Statistically speaking, long term investing is a profitable endeavour. But that doesn't mean long term investors can avoid big losses. Zooming in on an example, the Advantage Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:ADV) share price dropped 68% in the last half decade. We certainly feel for shareholders who bought near the top. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 15% in the last three months.
从统计学的角度来看,长期投资是一项盈利的事业。但这并不意味着长期投资者可以避免重大损失。以一个例子为例,Advantage Solutions Inc.(纳斯达克:ADV)的股价在过去五年中下跌了68%。我们当然对那些在高点附近买入的股东感到同情。近期股价下跌加速,过去三个月下跌了15%。
If the past week is anything to go by, investor sentiment for Advantage Solutions isn't positive, so let's see if there's a mismatch between fundamentals and the share price.
如果过去一周的情况有所指示,投资者对Advantage Solutions的情绪并不积极,因此让我们看看基本面与股价之间是否存在不匹配。
Given that Advantage Solutions didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. 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.
考虑到Advantage Solutions在过去十二个月内没有盈利,我们将关注营业收入增长,以快速了解其业务发展。一般来说,未盈利的公司预计每年都要增长收入,并且增长幅度要相当不错。一些公司愿意推迟盈利,以更快地增长收入,但在这种情况下,人们希望有良好的营业收入增长来弥补缺乏盈利。
Over five years, Advantage Solutions grew its revenue at 4.7% per year. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. This lacklustre growth has no doubt fueled the loss of 11% per year, in that time. We want to see an acceleration of revenue growth (or profits) before showing much interest in this one. When a stock falls hard like this, some investors like to add the company to a watchlist (in case the business recovers, longer term).
在五年内,Advantage Solutions的营业收入年增长率为4.7%。考虑到它没有盈利,这个增长率并不高。这种乏力的增长无疑导致在此期间每年损失11%。我们希望在对此股票表现出更多兴趣之前看到营业收入(或利润)增长加速。当股票像这样大幅下跌时,一些投资者喜欢将公司加入自选名单(以防公司长期复苏)。

It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. On the other hand, we think the revenue and earnings trends are much more meaningful measures of the business. So we recommend checking out this free report showing consensus forecasts
很高兴看到在过去三个月里,有一些显著的内部买入。这是一个积极的信号。另一方面,我们认为营业收入和盈利趋势是更具意义的业务指标。因此,我们建议查看这份免费报告,了解共识预测。
A Different Perspective
不同的视角
While the broader market gained around 29% in the last year, Advantage Solutions shareholders lost 16%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Unfortunately, longer term shareholders are suffering worse, given the loss of 11% doled out over the last five years. We would want clear information suggesting the company will grow, before taking the view that the share price will stabilize. 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 - Advantage Solutions has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.
尽管更广泛的市场在过去一年中上涨了约29%,但Advantage Solutions的股东却损失了16%。然而,请记住,即使是最好股票在十二个月期间也会有时表现不佳。不幸的是,长期股东的损失更严重,过去五年中亏损了11%。在认为股价会稳定之前,我们希望能有明确的信息表明公司将会增长。虽然考虑市场条件对股价可能产生的不同影响是值得的,但还有其他因素更为重要。例如风险 - Advantage Solutions有一个我们认为您应该注意的警示信号。
