How SO fared against its long-term earnings performance and its industry
I 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 blend enables me to assess various companies on a similar basis, using the latest information. For Sogefi, its latest trailing-twelve-month earnings is €28.10M, which, in comparison to the prior year’s level, has escalated by a non-trivial 65.94%. Since these values are relatively short-term, I’ve created an annualized five-year figure for Sogefi’s net income, which stands at €16.74M This means that, generally, Sogefi has been able to gradually raise its earnings over the past few years as well.
How has it been able to do this? Well, let’s take a look at whether it is only attributable to industry tailwinds, or if Sogefi has experienced some company-specific growth. Over the last couple of years, Sogefi top-line expansion has outstripped earnings and the growth rate of expenses. Though this brought about a margin contraction, it has lessened Sogefi’s earnings contraction. Looking at growth from a sector-level, the IT auto components industry has been growing its average earnings by double-digit 33.73% over the prior year, and 19.71% over the previous five years. This means whatever uplift the industry is profiting from, Sogefi is capable of leveraging this to its advantage.
What does this mean?
While past data is useful, it doesn’t tell the whole story. While Sogefi has a good historical track record with positive growth and profitability, there’s no certainty that this will extrapolate into the future.
