Should You Be Adding Chesapeake Utilities (NYSE:CPK) To Your Watchlist Today?
Should You Be Adding Chesapeake Utilities (NYSE:CPK) To Your Watchlist Today?
It's common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. 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.
Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Chesapeake Utilities (NYSE:CPK). While this doesn't necessarily speak to whether it's undervalued, the profitability of the business is enough to warrant some appreciation - especially if its growing.

How Fast Is Chesapeake Utilities Growing?
The market is a voting machine in the short term, but a weighing machine in the long term, so you'd expect share price to follow earnings per share (EPS) outcomes eventually. That makes EPS growth an attractive quality for any company. We can see that in the last three years Chesapeake Utilities grew its EPS by 10% per year. That growth rate is fairly good, assuming the company can keep it up.
It's often helpful to take a look at earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins, as well as revenue growth, to get another take on the quality of the company's growth. EBIT margins for Chesapeake Utilities remained fairly unchanged over the last year, however the company should be pleased to report its revenue growth for the period of 17% to US$630m. That's progress.

Are Chesapeake Utilities Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
It should give investors a sense of security owning shares in a company if insiders also own shares, creating a close alignment their interests. Chesapeake Utilities followers will find comfort in knowing that insiders have a significant amount of capital that aligns their best interests with the wider shareholder group. Given insiders own a significant chunk of shares, currently valued at US$55m, they have plenty of motivation to push the business to succeed. This should keep them focused on creating long term value for shareholders.
While it's always good to see some strong conviction in the company from insiders through heavy investment, it's also important for shareholders to ask if management compensation policies are reasonable. Our quick analysis into CEO remuneration would seem to indicate they are. Our analysis has discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like Chesapeake Utilities with market caps between US$2.0b and US$6.4b is about US$6.6m.
The Chesapeake Utilities CEO received total compensation of just US$2.8m in the year to December 2021. That looks like a modest pay packet, and may hint at a certain respect for the interests of shareholders. CEO compensation is hardly the most important aspect of a company to consider, but when it's reasonable, that gives a little more confidence that leadership are looking out for shareholder interests. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.
Should You Add Chesapeake Utilities To Your Watchlist?
One positive for Chesapeake Utilities is that it is growing EPS. That's nice to see. The fact that EPS is growing is a genuine positive for Chesapeake Utilities, but the pleasant picture gets better than that.

Every company has them, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Chesapeake Utilities (of which 1 is potentially serious!) you should know about.

对于许多投资者,尤其是那些缺乏经验的投资者来说,购买有好故事的公司的股票是很常见的,即使这些公司在亏损。有时,这些故事可能会蒙蔽投资者的头脑,导致他们以自己的情绪投资,而不是投资于良好的公司基本面。亏损的公司总是在争分夺秒地实现财务可持续性,因此这些公司的投资者可能承担了比他们应该承担的更多的风险。
尽管处于科技股蓝天投资的时代,许多投资者仍采取更传统的策略;购买盈利的公司的股票,如切萨皮克公用事业(纽约证券交易所代码:CPK)。虽然这并不一定意味着它是否被低估了,但该业务的盈利能力足以证明它有一定的升值价值--特别是如果它在增长的话。
