UniFirst Corporation's (NYSE:UNF) Financials Are Too Obscure To Link With Current Share Price Momentum: What's In Store For the Stock?
UniFirst Corporation's (NYSE:UNF) Financials Are Too Obscure To Link With Current Share Price Momentum: What's In Store For the Stock?
UniFirst (NYSE:UNF) has had a great run on the share market with its stock up by a significant 18% over the last three months. But the company's key financial indicators appear to be differing across the board and that makes us question whether or not the company's current share price momentum can be maintained. Specifically, we decided to study UniFirst's ROE in this article.
ROE or return on equity is a useful tool to assess how effectively a company can generate returns on the investment it received from its shareholders. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.
Check out our latest analysis for UniFirst
How To Calculate Return On Equity?
ROE can be calculated by using the formula:
Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity
So, based on the above formula, the ROE for UniFirst is:
5.9% = US$112m ÷ US$1.9b (Based on the trailing twelve months to May 2022).
The 'return' refers to a company's earnings over the last year. So, this means that for every $1 of its shareholder's investments, the company generates a profit of $0.06.
Why Is ROE Important For Earnings Growth?
We have already established that ROE serves as an efficient profit-generating gauge for a company's future earnings. Based on how much of its profits the company chooses to reinvest or "retain", we are then able to evaluate a company's future ability to generate profits. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics.
A Side By Side comparison of UniFirst's Earnings Growth And 5.9% ROE
At first glance, UniFirst's ROE doesn't look very promising. A quick further study shows that the company's ROE doesn't compare favorably to the industry average of 11% either. Thus, the low net income growth of 4.0% seen by UniFirst over the past five years could probably be the result of the low ROE.
As a next step, we compared UniFirst's net income growth with the industry and were disappointed to see that the company's growth is lower than the industry average growth of 6.0% in the same period.
NYSE:UNF Past Earnings Growth August 23rd 2022The basis for attaching value to a company is, to a great extent, tied to its earnings growth. It's important for an investor to know whether the market has priced in the company's expected earnings growth (or decline). Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. What is UNF worth today? The intrinsic value infographic in our free research report helps visualize whether UNF is currently mispriced by the market.
Is UniFirst Using Its Retained Earnings Effectively?
A low three-year median payout ratio of 13% (implying that the company retains the remaining 87% of its income) suggests that UniFirst is retaining most of its profits. However, the low earnings growth number doesn't reflect this as high growth usually follows high profit retention. So there could be some other explanation in that regard. For instance, the company's business may be deteriorating.
Moreover, UniFirst has been paying dividends for at least ten years or more suggesting that management must have perceived that the shareholders prefer dividends over earnings growth.
Conclusion
In total, we're a bit ambivalent about UniFirst's performance. Even though it appears to be retaining most of its profits, given the low ROE, investors may not be benefitting from all that reinvestment after all. The low earnings growth suggests our theory correct. That being so, the latest analyst forecasts show that the company will continue to see an expansion in its earnings.

UniFirst(紐約證券交易所代碼:UNF)的股票在過去三個月裏大幅上漲了18%。但該公司的關鍵財務指標似乎在所有方面都不同,這讓我們質疑該公司目前的股價勢頭能否保持下去。具體地説,我們決定在本文中研究UniFirst的ROE。
淨資產收益率,即股本回報率,是評估一家公司從股東那裏獲得投資回報的有效程度的有用工具。簡而言之,淨資產收益率顯示了每一美元相對於其股東投資產生的利潤。
查看我們對UniFirst的最新分析
如何計算股本回報率?
可使用以下公式計算淨資產收益率:
股本回報率=(持續經營的)淨利潤?股東權益
因此,根據上面的公式,UniFirst的ROE為:
5.9%=1.12億美元?19億美元(基於截至2022年5月的12個月的往績)。
“回報”指的是一家公司過去一年的收益。因此,這意味着股東每投資1美元,公司就會產生0.06美元的利潤。
為什麼淨資產收益率對收益增長很重要?
我們已經證實,淨資產收益率是一家公司未來收益的有效盈利指標。根據公司選擇再投資或“保留”多少利潤,我們就能夠評估一家公司未來產生利潤的能力。假設其他條件不變,淨資產收益率和利潤保留率越高,與不一定具有這些特徵的公司相比,公司的增長率就越高。
UniFirst盈利增長與淨資產收益率5.9%的並列比較
乍一看,UniFirst的淨資產收益率看起來並不是很有希望。一項快速的進一步研究顯示,該公司的淨資產收益率(ROE)也不及11%的行業平均水平。因此,UniFirst在過去五年中看到的4.0%的低淨收入增長可能是低ROE的結果。
作為下一步,我們將UniFirst的淨收入增長與行業進行了比較,並失望地看到,該公司的增長低於同期6.0%的行業平均增長。
紐約證券交易所:UNF過去的收益增長2022年8月23日賦予一家公司價值的基礎在很大程度上與其盈利增長掛鈎。對於投資者來説,重要的是知道市場是否已經消化了公司預期的收益增長(或下降)。這樣做將有助於他們確定該股的未來看起來是光明的還是不祥的。聯合國維和部隊今天的價值是多少?我們免費研究報告中的內在價值信息圖有助於直觀地瞭解UNF目前是否被市場錯誤定價。
UniFirst是否有效地利用了其留存收益?
較低的三年中值派息率為13%(這意味着該公司保留了剩餘87%的收入),這表明UniFirst保留了大部分利潤。然而,低收益增長數字並不能反映這一點,因為高增長通常伴隨着高利潤保留。因此,在這方面可能有一些其他的解釋。例如,該公司的業務可能正在惡化。
此外,UniFirst至少在十年或更長時間內一直在支付股息,這表明管理層肯定已經意識到,股東更喜歡股息,而不是收益增長。
結論
總體而言,我們對UniFirst的表現有點矛盾。儘管它似乎保留了大部分利潤,但鑑於淨資產收益率較低,投資者可能終究不會從所有這些再投資中受益。低收益增長率表明我們的理論是正確的。既然如此,最新的分析師預測顯示,該公司的收益將繼續增長。要了解更多有關該公司未來收益增長預測的信息,請查看以下內容免費報告分析師對該公司的預測,以瞭解更多信息。
