AutoNation's (NYSE:AN) Investors Will Be Pleased With Their Enviable 330% Return Over the Last Five Years

We think all investors should try to buy and hold high quality multi-year winners. While the best companies are hard to find, but they can generate massive returns over long periods. For example, the AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN) share price is up a whopping 330% in the last half decade, a handsome return for long term holders. This just goes to show the value creation that some businesses can achieve. On top of that, the share price is up 23% in about a quarter. The company reported its financial results recently; you can catch up on the latest numbers by reading our company report.

我們認爲,所有投資者都應該嘗試買入並持有高質量的多年期贏家。雖然很難找到最好的公司,但它們可以在很長一段時間內產生豐厚的回報。例如,AutoNation, Inc.(紐約證券交易所代碼:AN)的股價在過去五年中上漲了330%,對於長揸者來說,這是一個可觀的回報。這只是表明一些企業可以實現的價值創造。最重要的是,股價在大約一個季度內上漲了23%。該公司最近公佈了財務業績;您可以通過閱讀我們的公司報告來了解最新的數字。

So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.

因此,讓我們評估過去5年的基本面,看看它們是否與股東回報步調一致。

To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

用本傑明·格雷厄姆的話來說:從短期來看,市場是一臺投票機器,但從長遠來看,它是一臺稱重機。研究市場情緒如何隨着時間的推移而變化的一種方法是研究公司股價與其每股收益(EPS)之間的相互作用。

Over half a decade, AutoNation managed to grow its earnings per share at 39% a year. This EPS growth is reasonably close to the 34% average annual increase in the share price. That suggests that the market sentiment around the company hasn't changed much over that time. Indeed, it would appear the share price is reacting to the EPS.

在過去的五年中,AutoNation設法將其每股收益增長到每年39%。每股收益的增長相當接近股價年均增長34%。這表明,在那段時間內,公司周圍的市場情緒沒有太大變化。事實上,看來股價正在對每股收益做出反應。

It's probably worth noting we've seen significant insider buying in the last quarter, which we consider a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. This free interactive report on AutoNation's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.

可能值得注意的是,我們在上個季度看到了大量的內幕買盤,我們認爲這是積極的。話雖如此,我們認爲收益和收入增長趨勢是更重要的考慮因素。如果你想進一步調查AutoNation的股票,這份關於AutoNation收益、收入和現金流的免費互動報告是一個很好的起點。

A Different Perspective

不同的視角

AutoNation's TSR for the year was broadly in line with the market average, at 27%. We should note here that the five-year TSR is more impressive, at 34% per year. More recently, the share price growth has slowed. But it has to be said the overall picture is one of good long term and short term performance. Arguably that makes AutoNation a stock worth watching. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand AutoNation better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 3 warning signs for AutoNation (1 is potentially serious) that you should be aware of.

AutoNation今年的股東總回報率與市場平均水平基本持平,爲27%。我們應該在這裏指出,五年期股東總回報率更令人印象深刻,爲每年34%。最近,股價增長放緩。但必須說,總體情況是長期和短期表現良好。可以說,這使AutoNation成爲值得關注的股票。長期跟蹤股價表現總是很有意思的。但是,爲了更好地理解AutoNation,我們需要考慮許多其他因素。例如,我們已經確定了AutoNation的3個警告信號(其中一個可能很嚴重),你應該注意這些信號。

AutoNation is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find lesser know companies this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

AutoNation並不是內部人士唯一買入的股票。對於那些喜歡尋找知名度較低的公司的人來說,這份最近有內幕收購的成長型公司的免費清單可能只是入場券。
