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.

我们认为,所有投资者都应该尝试买入并持有高质量的多年期赢家。虽然很难找到最好的公司,但它们可以在很长一段时间内产生丰厚的回报。例如,AutoNation, Inc.(纽约证券交易所代码:AN)的股价在过去五年中上涨了330%,对于长期持有者来说,这是一个可观的回报。这只是表明一些企业可以实现的价值创造。最重要的是,股价在大约一个季度内上涨了23%。该公司最近公布了财务业绩;您可以通过阅读我们的公司报告来了解最新的数字。

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,让我们评估过去5年的基本面,看看它们是否与股东回报步调一致。

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).

用本杰明·格雷厄姆的话来说:从短期来看,市场是一台投票机器,但从长远来看,它是一台称重机。研究市场情绪如何随着时间的推移而变化的一种方法是研究公司股价与其每股收益(EPS)之间的相互作用。

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.

在过去的五年中,AutoNation设法将其每股收益增长到每年39%。每股收益的增长相当接近股价年均增长34%。这表明,在那段时间内,公司周围的市场情绪没有太大变化。事实上,看来股价正在对每股收益做出反应。

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,我们在上个季度看到了大量的内幕买盘,我们认为这是积极的。话虽如此,我们认为收益和收入增长趋势是更重要的考虑因素。如果你想进一步调查AutoNation的股票,这份关于AutoNation收益、收入和现金流的免费互动报告是一个很好的起点。

A Different Perspective

不同的视角

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今年的股东总回报率与市场平均水平基本持平,为27%。我们应该在这里指出,五年期股东总回报率更令人印象深刻,为每年34%。最近,股价增长放缓。但必须说,总体情况是长期和短期表现良好。可以说,这使AutoNation成为值得关注的股票。长期跟踪股价表现总是很有意思的。但是,为了更好地理解AutoNation,我们需要考虑许多其他因素。例如,我们已经确定了AutoNation的3个警告信号(其中一个可能很严重),你应该注意这些信号。

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并不是内部人士唯一买入的股票。对于那些喜欢寻找知名度较低的公司的人来说,这份最近有内幕收购的成长型公司的免费清单可能只是入场券。
