Does Lovisa Holdings Limited's (ASX:LOV) Recent Track Record Look Strong?
After reading Lovisa Holdings Limited's (ASX:LOV) most recent earnings announcement (31 December 2017), I found it useful to look back at how the company has performed in the past and compare this against the latest numbers. As a long term investor, I pay close attention to earnings trend, rather than the figures published at one point in time. I also compare against an industry benchmark to check whether Lovisa Holdings's performance has been impacted by industry movements. In this article I briefly touch on my key findings.

Could LOV beat the long-term trend and outperform its industry?
I look at data from the most recent 12 months, which annualizes the latest 6-month earnings release, or some times, the latest annual report is already the most recent financial data. This allows me to analyze different companies in a uniform manner using the latest information. For Lovisa Holdings, its most recent earnings (trailing twelve month) is AU$33.62M, which, against the prior year's level, has increased by 44.60%. Since these values are somewhat nearsighted, I have computed an annualized five-year figure for Lovisa Holdings's net income, which stands at AU$18.29M This shows that, generally, Lovisa Holdings has been able to gradually grow its earnings over the past few years as well.
