Here's Why We Think National Fuel Gas (NYSE:NFG) Might Deserve Your Attention Today
Here's Why We Think National Fuel Gas (NYSE:NFG) Might Deserve Your Attention Today
Investors are often guided by the idea of discovering 'the next big thing', even if that means buying 'story stocks' without any revenue, let alone profit. 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. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.
In contrast to all that, many investors prefer to focus on companies like National Fuel Gas (NYSE:NFG), which has not only revenues, but also profits. Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business.

How Quickly Is National Fuel Gas Increasing Earnings Per Share?
If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. National Fuel Gas managed to grow EPS by 16% per year, over three years. That's a good rate of growth, if it can be sustained.
Careful consideration of revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margins can help inform a view on the sustainability of the recent profit growth. National Fuel Gas maintained stable EBIT margins over the last year, all while growing revenue 26% to US$2.1b. That's a real positive.
In the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings and revenue, over time. For finer detail, click on the image.
NYSE:NFG Earnings and Revenue History September 23rd 2022Of course the knack is to find stocks that have their best days in the future, not in the past. You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for National Fuel Gas.
Are National Fuel Gas Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
Owing to the size of National Fuel Gas, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a significant proportion of the company. But thanks to their investment in the company, it's pleasing to see that there are still incentives to align their actions with the shareholders. We note that their impressive stake in the company is worth US$103m. Investors will appreciate management having this amount of skin in the game as it shows their commitment to the company's future.
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. A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. For companies with market capitalisations between US$4.0b and US$12b, like National Fuel Gas, the median CEO pay is around US$8.4m.
The National Fuel Gas CEO received US$7.0m in compensation for the year ending September 2021. That is actually below the median for CEO's of similarly sized companies. CEO remuneration levels are not the most important metric for investors, but when the pay is modest, that does support enhanced alignment between the CEO and the ordinary shareholders. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.
Is National Fuel Gas Worth Keeping An Eye On?
One positive for National Fuel Gas is that it is growing EPS. That's nice to see. The growth of EPS may be the eye-catching headline for National Fuel Gas, but there's more to bring joy for shareholders. With company insiders aligning themselves considerably with the company's success and modest CEO compensation, there's no arguments that this is a stock worth looking into. Even so, be aware that National Fuel Gas is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis , you should know about...

投资者往往以发现“下一个大事件”为指导,即使这意味着在没有任何收入、更不用说利润的情况下买入“故事股”。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。一家亏损的公司还没有用盈利来证明自己,最终外部资本的流入可能会枯竭。
与此形成鲜明对比的是,许多投资者更倾向于关注像国家燃气(纽约证券交易所代码:NFG),它不仅有收入,而且还有利润。现在,这并不是说该公司提供了最好的投资机会,但盈利能力是商业成功的关键组成部分。

国家燃气公司每股收益增长的速度有多快?
如果你相信市场是模糊有效的,那么从长期来看,你会认为一家公司的股价会跟随其每股收益(EPS)的结果。因此,有很多投资者喜欢购买每股收益不断增长的公司的股票。国家燃气公司设法在三年内以每年16%的速度增长每股收益。这是一个很好的增长率,如果它能够持续的话。
仔细考虑收入增长和息税前利润(EBIT)利润率有助于了解最近利润增长的可持续性。国家燃气去年保持了稳定的息税前利润,同时收入增长了26%,达到21亿美元。这是一个真正的积极因素。
在下面的图表中,你可以看到该公司如何随着时间的推移实现了收益和收入的增长。要查看更详细的信息,请点击图片。

国家燃气内部人士是否与所有股东一致?
由于国家燃气的规模,我们预计内部人士不会持有该公司很大比例的股份。但由于他们对公司的投资,令人高兴的是,仍有激励措施让他们的行动与股东保持一致。我们注意到,他们在该公司令人印象深刻的股份价值1.03亿美元。投资者将感谢管理层参与到这场游戏中来,因为这表明了他们对公司未来的承诺。
虽然看到内部人士通过大量投资对公司产生强烈的信心总是好事,但对股东来说,询问管理层薪酬政策是否合理也很重要。对CEO薪酬的简要分析表明,情况的确如此。对于市值在40亿美元至120亿美元之间的公司,如National Fuel Gas,首席执行官的薪酬中值约为840万美元。
这位国家燃气首席执行官在截至2021年9月的一年中获得了700万美元的薪酬。这实际上低于类似规模公司CEO的中位数。CEO薪酬水平不是投资者最重要的衡量标准,但当薪酬适中时,这确实有助于加强CEO与普通股东之间的一致性。在更广泛的意义上,它也可以是一种诚信文化的标志。
国家燃气值得关注吗?
国家燃气的一个利好消息是,它的每股收益正在增长。很高兴见到你。对于国家燃气来说,每股收益的增长可能是引人注目的头条新闻,但还有更多的东西可以为股东带来joy。鉴于公司内部人士对公司的成功和CEO微薄的薪酬大加赞赏,没有理由认为这只股票值得一看。即便如此,请注意,国家燃气公司正在显示我们的投资分析中的2个警告信号,你应该知道关于……
