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. Boasting both modest CEO pay and considerable insider ownership, you'd argue this one is worthy of the watchlist, at least. What about risks? Every company has them, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Chesapeake Utilities (of which 1 is potentially serious!) you should know about.
Although Chesapeake Utilities certainly looks good, it may appeal to more investors if insiders were buying up shares. If you like to see insider buying, then this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying, could be exactly what you're looking for.

對於許多投資者,尤其是那些缺乏經驗的投資者來説,購買有好故事的公司的股票是很常見的,即使這些公司在虧損。有時,這些故事可能會矇蔽投資者的頭腦,導致他們以自己的情緒投資,而不是投資於良好的公司基本面。虧損的公司總是在爭分奪秒地實現財務可持續性,因此這些公司的投資者可能承擔了比他們應該承擔的更多的風險。
儘管處於科技股藍天投資的時代,許多投資者仍採取更傳統的策略;購買盈利的公司的股票,如切薩皮克公用事業(紐約證券交易所代碼:CPK)。雖然這並不一定意味着它是否被低估了,但該業務的盈利能力足以證明它有一定的升值價值--特別是如果它在增長的話。
查看我們對切薩皮克公用事業公司的最新分析
切薩皮克公用事業公司的增長速度有多快?
市場在短期內是一臺投票機,但從長期來看是一臺稱重機,所以你可以預期股價最終會跟隨每股收益(EPS)的結果。這使得每股收益的增長對任何公司來説都是一個有吸引力的品質。我們可以看到,在過去的三年裏,切薩皮克公用事業公司的每股收益以每年10%的速度增長。假設該公司能夠保持這一增速,那麼這個增速已經相當不錯了。
看一看息税前利潤(EBIT)利潤率和收入增長,對了解公司增長的質量通常是有幫助的。切薩皮克公用事業公司的息税前利潤與去年持平,但該公司應該很高興地報告其收入增長了17%,達到6.3億美元。這就是進步。
下面的圖表顯示了該公司的利潤和收入是如何隨着時間的推移而變化的。點擊圖表查看確切的數字。
紐約證券交易所:CPK收益和收入歷史2022年8月22日作為投資者,訣竅在於找到符合以下條件的公司要去在未來有好的表現,而不僅僅是在過去。雖然水晶球並不存在,但你可以查看我們對切薩皮克公用事業公司未來每股收益100%免費的共識分析師預測的可視化。
切薩皮克公用事業公司的內部人士是否與所有股東一致?
如果內部人士也持有一家公司的股票,這應該會給投資者帶來一種安全感,使他們的利益緊密一致。切薩皮克公用事業公司的追隨者將會感到欣慰,因為他們知道內部人士擁有大量資本,這些資本將使他們的最佳利益與更廣泛的股東羣體保持一致。鑑於內部人士擁有相當大的股份,目前價值5500萬美元,他們有足夠的動力推動業務取得成功。這應該會讓他們專注於為股東創造長期價值。
雖然看到內部人士通過大量投資對公司產生強烈的信心總是好事,但對股東來説,詢問管理層薪酬政策是否合理也很重要。我們對CEO薪酬的快速分析似乎表明,情況的確如此。我們的分析發現,像切薩皮克公用事業這樣市值在20億美元到64億美元之間的公司的首席執行官的總薪酬中值約為660萬美元。
這位切薩皮克公用事業公司的首席執行官在截至2021年12月的一年中只獲得了280萬美元的總薪酬。這看起來是一筆不高的薪酬,可能暗示了對股東利益的某種尊重。CEO薪酬很難説是一家公司最重要的考慮因素,但當薪酬合理時,這會讓人更有信心相信,領導層是在為股東利益着想。在更廣泛的意義上,它也可以是一種誠信文化的標誌。
你應該將切薩皮克公用事業公司添加到你的觀察名單中嗎?
切薩皮克公用事業公司的一個積極因素是每股收益不斷增長。很高興見到你。每股收益增長的事實對切薩皮克公用事業公司來説是一個真正的利好消息,但令人高興的是,情況還不止於此。你可能會説,這家公司CEO的薪酬不高,內部人士的所有權也相當可觀,因此至少值得被列入觀察名單。那麼風險呢?每家公司都有它們,我們已經發現切薩皮克公用事業公司的2個警告標誌(其中1人可能是嚴重的!)你應該知道。
儘管切薩皮克公用事業公司看起來確實不錯,但如果內部人士買入股票,它可能會吸引更多的投資者。如果你想看到內幕交易,那麼這本書免費內部人士正在收購的成長型公司名單,可能正是你正在尋找的。
