Did U9E beat its long-term earnings growth trend and its industry?
For the purpose of this commentary, I like to use data from the most recent 12 months, which annualizes the most recent half-year data, or in some cases, the latest annual report is already the most recent financial year data. This technique allows me to examine different stocks on a more comparable basis, using the most relevant data points. For China Everbright Water, its most recent trailing-twelve-month earnings is HK$455.4M, which, in comparison to the previous year's figure, has risen by 20.52%. Since these values may be relatively nearsighted, I’ve determined an annualized five-year figure for China Everbright Water's earnings, which stands at HK$364.4M. This shows that, generally, China Everbright Water has been able to steadily raise its net income over the past couple of years as well.
What does this mean?
