華爾街日報With EPS Growth And More, Rosetti Marino (BIT:YRM) Makes An Interesting Case
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. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. 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.
So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn't suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Rosetti Marino (BIT:YRM). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Rosetti Marino with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.
Rosetti Marino's Improving Profits
In business, profits are a key measure of success; and share prices tend to reflect earnings per share (EPS) performance. So for many budding investors, improving EPS is considered a good sign. It's an outstanding feat for Rosetti Marino to have grown EPS from €2.25 to €8.84 in just one year. While it's difficult to sustain growth at that level, it bodes well for the company's outlook for the future. Could this be a sign that the business has reached an inflection point?
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. Rosetti Marino shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 4.6% to 7.1%, and revenue is growing. That's great to see, on both counts.
