If EPS Growth Is Important To You, Concurrent Technologies (LON:CNC) Presents An Opportunity
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. But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.' While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away. Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Concurrent Technologies (LON:CNC). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Concurrent Technologies with the means to add long-term value to shareholders. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Concurrent Technologies' Earnings Per Share Are Growing 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. That makes EPS growth an attractive quality for any company. We can see that in the last three years Concurrent Technologies grew its EPS by 12% per year. That's a pretty good rate, if the company can sustain it. One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. EBIT margins for Concurrent Technologies remained fairly unchanged over the last year, however the company should be pleased to report its revenue growth for the period of 27% to UK£40m. That's a real positive. The chart below shows how the company's bottom and top lines have progressed over time. To see the actual numbers, click on the chart. Check out our latest analysis for Concurrent Technologies The trick, as an investor, is to find companies that are going to perform well in the future, not just in the past. While crystal balls don't exist, you can check our visualization of consensus analyst forecasts for Concurrent Technologies' future EPS 100% free. Are Concurrent Technologies Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders? It's a necessity that company leaders act in the best interest of shareholders and so insider investment always comes as a reassurance to the market. So it is good to see that Concurrent Technologies insiders have a significant amount of capital invested in the stock. Indeed, they hold UK£14m worth of its stock. This considerable investment should help drive long-term value in the business. As a percentage, this totals to 9.3% of the shares on issue for the business, an appreciable amount considering the market cap. Does Concurrent Technologies Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist? One positive for Concurrent Technologies is that it is growing EPS. That's nice to see. If that's not enough on its own, there is also the rather notable levels of insider ownership. That combination is very appealing. So yes, we do think the stock is worth keeping an eye on. If you think Concurrent Technologies might suit your style as an investor, you could go straight to its annual report, or you could first check our discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation for the company. There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares. But for those who consider these important metrics, we encourage you to check out companies that do have those features. You can access a tailored list of British companies which have demonstrated growth backed by significant insider holdings.
