Was C52's recent earnings decline worse than the long-term trend and the industry?
I prefer to use the ‘latest twelve-month’ data, which annualizes the latest 6-month earnings release, or some times, the latest annual report is already the most recent financial data. This technique allows me to analyze different stocks in a uniform manner using the most relevant data points. For ComfortDelGro, its most recent bottom-line (trailing twelve month) is S$301.50M, which, in comparison to the prior year's figure, has fallen by -4.92%. Given that these values may be fairly short-term, I’ve calculated an annualized five-year figure for ComfortDelGro's earnings, which stands at S$276.20M This shows that though earnings growth was negative from the previous year, over a longer period of time, ComfortDelGro's profits have been increasing on average.
