How Did SRG’s Recent Performance Stack Up Against Its Past?
To account for any quarterly or half-yearly updates, I use the ‘latest twelve-month’ data, 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 allows me to analyze different stocks on a more comparable basis, using new information. For Snam, its most recent trailing-twelve-month earnings is €897.00M, which, against last year’s figure, has risen by 34.89%. Given that these values are fairly short-term thinking, I’ve estimated an annualized five-year value for SRG’s net income, which stands at €864.32M This shows that, generally, Snam has been able to consistently raise its net income over the past few years as well.
What’s the driver of this growth? Well, let’s take a look at whether it is only due to industry tailwinds, or if Snam has seen some company-specific growth. In the past couple of years, though bottom-line growth has seen a weakening, top-line growth has dropped much faster, causing a margin expansion and Snam still maintaining profitability. Looking at growth from a sector-level, the IT oil and gas industry has been growing its average earnings by double-digit 24.02% over the prior year, and a flatter -1.67% over the past five. This means that, in the recent industry expansion, Snam is able to amplify this to its advantage.
