Do MGE Energy's (NASDAQ:MGEE) Earnings Warrant Your Attention?

The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. Unfortunately, these high risk investments often have little probability of ever paying off, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson. 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.

對一些投機者來說,投資一家能夠扭轉命運的公司的興奮感是一個很大的吸引力,因此,即使是沒有收入、沒有利潤、有虧損記錄的公司,也可以設法找到投資者。不幸的是,這些高風險投資通常幾乎不可能獲得回報,許多投資者爲吸取教訓付出了代價。虧損的公司總是與時間賽跑以實現財務可持續性,因此這些公司的投資者承擔的風險可能超出了應有的範圍。

If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in MGE Energy (NASDAQ:MGEE). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it.

如果這種公司不是你的風格,你喜歡那些創造收入甚至賺取利潤的公司,那麼你很可能會對MGE Energy(納斯達克股票代碼:MGEE)感興趣。儘管利潤不是投資時應考慮的唯一指標,但值得表彰能夠持續生產利潤的企業。

How Quickly Is MGE Energy Increasing Earnings Per Share?

MGE Energy 增加每股收益的速度有多快?

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. So it makes sense that experienced investors pay close attention to company EPS when undertaking investment research. Over the last three years, MGE Energy has grown EPS by 7.8% per year. While that sort of growth rate isn't anything to write home about, it does show the business is growing.

如果你認爲市場的效率甚至含糊不清,那麼從長遠來看,你預計公司的股價將遵循其每股收益(EPS)的結果。因此,經驗豐富的投資者在進行投資研究時密切關注公司的每股收益是有道理的。在過去的三年中,MGE Energy的每股收益每年增長7.8%。儘管這種增長率並不例外,但它確實表明業務正在增長。

Top-line growth is a great indicator that growth is sustainable, and combined with a high earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margin, it's a great way for a company to maintain a competitive advantage in the market. While MGE Energy may have maintained EBIT margins over the last year, revenue has fallen. This does not bode too well for short term growth prospects and so understanding the reasons for these results is of great importance.

收入增長是可持續增長的重要指標,再加上較高的息稅前收益(EBIT)利潤率,這是公司保持市場競爭優勢的好方法。儘管MGE Energy去年可能保持了息稅前利潤率,但收入卻下降了。對於短期增長前景而言,這並不是一個好兆頭,因此了解這些結果的原因非常重要。

Are MGE Energy Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?

MGE Energy Insiders是否與所有股東保持一致?

Insider interest in a company always sparks a bit of intrigue and many investors are on the lookout for companies where insiders are putting their money where their mouth is. This view is based on the possibility that stock purchases signal bullishness on behalf of the buyer. However, small purchases are not always indicative of conviction, and insiders don't always get it right.

內部人士對公司的興趣總是會引發一點陰謀,許多投資者都在尋找內部人士將資金投入到原處的公司。這種觀點是基於這樣一種可能性,即股票購買代表買方發出看漲信號。但是,小額購買並不總是表明信念,內部人士也並不總是能做對的。

Not only did MGE Energy insiders refrain from selling stock during the year, but they also spent US$94k buying it. That paints the company in a nice light, as it signals that its leaders are feeling confident in where the company is heading.

MGE Energy內部人士不僅在年內避免出售股票,而且還花費了9.4萬美元購買股票。這爲公司描繪了一幅美好的畫面,因爲它表明其領導者對公司的發展方向充滿信心。

It's commendable to see that insiders have been buying shares in MGE Energy, but there is more evidence of shareholder friendly management. Namely, MGE Energy has a very reasonable level of CEO pay. Our analysis has discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like MGE Energy with market caps between US$2.0b and US$6.4b is about US$6.3m.

內部人士一直在購買MGE Energy的股票值得稱讚,但有更多證據表明管理層對股東友好。也就是說,MGE Energy的首席執行官薪酬水平非常合理。我們的分析發現,市值在20億美元至64億美元之間的MGE Energy等公司的首席執行官的總薪酬中位數約爲630萬美元。

The CEO of MGE Energy only received US$1.7m in total compensation for the year ending December 2022. First impressions seem to indicate a compensation policy that is favourable to shareholders. While the level of CEO compensation shouldn't be the biggest factor in how the company is viewed, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. Generally, arguments can be made that reasonable pay levels attest to good decision-making.

截至2022年12月的財年,MGE能源首席執行官僅獲得了170萬美元的總薪酬。第一印象似乎表明薪酬政策有利於股東。儘管首席執行官的薪酬水平不應成爲公司看法的最大因素,但適度的薪酬是積極的,因爲這表明董事會將股東利益放在心上。通常,可以說合理的薪酬水平證明了良好的決策。
