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.
See our latest analysis for National Fuel Gas
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...

投資者往往以發現“下一個大事件”為指導,即使這意味着在沒有任何收入、更不用説利潤的情況下買入“故事股”。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。一家虧損的公司還沒有用盈利來證明自己,最終外部資本的流入可能會枯竭。
與此形成鮮明對比的是,許多投資者更傾向於關注像國家燃氣(紐約證券交易所代碼:NFG),它不僅有收入,而且還有利潤。現在,這並不是説該公司提供了最好的投資機會,但盈利能力是商業成功的關鍵組成部分。

國家燃氣公司每股收益增長的速度有多快?
如果你相信市場是模糊有效的,那麼從長期來看,你會認為一家公司的股價會跟隨其每股收益(EPS)的結果。因此,有很多投資者喜歡購買每股收益不斷增長的公司的股票。國家燃氣公司設法在三年內以每年16%的速度增長每股收益。這是一個很好的增長率,如果它能夠持續的話。
仔細考慮收入增長和息税前利潤(EBIT)利潤率有助於瞭解最近利潤增長的可持續性。國家燃氣去年保持了穩定的息税前利潤,同時收入增長了26%,達到21億美元。這是一個真正的積極因素。
在下面的圖表中,你可以看到該公司如何隨着時間的推移實現了收益和收入的增長。要查看更詳細的信息,請點擊圖片。
紐約證券交易所:NFG收益和收入歷史2022年9月23日當然,訣竅是找到未來最好的股票,而不是過去的股票。當然,你可以根據過去的表現來發表你的觀點,但你也可能想查看這張專業分析師對國家燃氣公司每股收益預測的互動圖表。
國家燃氣內部人士是否與所有股東一致?
由於國家燃氣的規模,我們預計內部人士不會持有該公司很大比例的股份。但由於他們對公司的投資,令人高興的是,仍有激勵措施讓他們的行動與股東保持一致。我們注意到,他們在該公司令人印象深刻的股份價值1.03億美元。投資者將感謝管理層參與到這場遊戲中來,因為這表明了他們對公司未來的承諾。
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。對CEO薪酬的簡要分析表明,情況的確如此。對於市值在40億美元至120億美元之間的公司,如National Fuel Gas,首席執行官的薪酬中值約為840萬美元。
這位國家燃氣首席執行官在截至2021年9月的一年中獲得了700萬美元的薪酬。這實際上低於類似規模公司CEO的中位數。CEO薪酬水平不是投資者最重要的衡量標準,但當薪酬適中時,這確實有助於加強CEO與普通股東之間的一致性。在更廣泛的意義上,它也可以是一種誠信文化的標誌。
國家燃氣值得關注嗎?
國家燃氣的一個利好消息是,它的每股收益正在增長。很高興見到你。對於國家燃氣來説,每股收益的增長可能是引人注目的頭條新聞,但還有更多的東西可以為股東帶來joy。鑑於公司內部人士對公司的成功和CEO微薄的薪酬大加讚賞,沒有理由認為這隻股票值得一看。即便如此,請注意,國家燃氣公司正在顯示我們的投資分析中的2個警告信號,你應該知道關於……
