With EPS Growth And More, MHM Automation (NZSE:MHM) Is Interesting – Yahoo Eurosport UK
Posted: June 5, 2022 at 2:50 am
Like a puppy chasing its tail, some new investors often chase 'the next big thing', even if that means buying 'story stocks' without revenue, let alone profit. But as Warren Buffett has mused, 'If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.' When they buy such story stocks, investors are all too often the patsy.
In the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, my choice may seem old fashioned; I still prefer profitable companies like MHM Automation (NZSE:MHM). Even if the shares are fully valued today, most capitalists would recognize its profits as the demonstration of steady value generation. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.
Check out our latest analysis for MHM Automation
Over the last three years, MHM Automation has grown earnings per share (EPS) like young bamboo after rain; fast, and from a low base. So I don't think the percent growth rate is particularly meaningful. Thus, it makes sense to focus on more recent growth rates, instead. Like the last firework on New Year's Eve accelerating into the sky, MHM Automation's EPS shot from NZ$0.017 to NZ$0.052, over the last year. You don't see 198% year-on-year growth like that, very often.
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. MHM Automation shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 1.0% to 5.7%, and revenue is growing. That's great to see, on both counts.
You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below. To see the actual numbers, click on the chart.
earnings-and-revenue-history
Since MHM Automation is no giant, with a market capitalization of NZ$45m, so you should definitely check its cash and debt before getting too excited about its prospects.
Story continues
As a general rule, I think it worth considering how much the CEO is paid, since unreasonably high rates could be considered against the interests of shareholders. For companies with market capitalizations under NZ$307m, like MHM Automation, the median CEO pay is around NZ$549k.
MHM Automation offered total compensation worth NZ$373k to its CEO in the year to . That comes in below the average for similar sized companies, and seems pretty reasonable to me. CEO remuneration levels are not the most important metric for investors, but when the pay is modest, that does support enhanced alignment between the CEO and the ordinary shareholders. It can also be a sign of good governance, more generally.
MHM Automation's earnings have taken off like any random crypto-currency did, back in 2017. With rocketing profits, its seems likely the business has a rosy future; and it may have hit an inflection point. At the same time the reasonable CEO compensation reflects well on the board of directors. So MHM Automation looks like it could be a good quality growth stock, at first glance. That's worth watching. You should always think about risks though. Case in point, we've spotted 2 warning signs for MHM Automation you should be aware of, and 1 of them shouldn't be ignored.
Of course, you can do well (sometimes) buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares. But as a growth investor I always like to check out companies that do have those features. You can access a free list of them here.

Tom York on Business: Jack in the Box Sees Automation Improving Profitability – Times of San Diego
Posted: at 2:50 am
A Jack in the Box store opening in San Diego. Photo by Ken Stone
San Diegos favorite burger business, Jack in the Box, recently announced financial results for the second quarter, which, in reality, werent all that good, but the company was upbeat for the future, despite soaring operating costs due to current turbulent economic conditions.
The results included both Jack in the Box units, as well as the recently acquired Del Taco Mexican fast-food chain. That acquisition was completed in March.
According to a earnings release, Jacks system-wide sales for the quarter increased a tiny 0.1%, in large part driven by growth in average restaurant volumes, but offset by a slight decline in the number of restaurants.
While challenged by continued inflationary pressure facing our industry, we are pleased to have delivered strong same-store sales on a two-year basis. This performance has allowed our franchisees, operators and corporate team members to provide our guests with innovative and craveable food they have come to expect from Jack, said Darin Harris, the companys chief executive officer.
Like other competitors in the fast-food sector, Jack faces rising labor costs in its efforts to offset labor shortages as the economy emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Industry publication Restaurant Business said that Harris has found at least a partial solution in terms of combating inflation.
The solution, wrote the magazine, is self-cleaning shake machines.
Specifically, automated shake machine cleaning, along with simplifying burger builds and new cheese pumps, are among a handful of efforts that over time could improve profitability by 200 basis points, the magazine wrote.
In its earnings announcement, Jack in the Box said its overall restaurant level margin is now expected to be less than 17%, down from the previous 20% to 21%, which includes high single-digit price increases, compared to previous estimates in the mid-to-high single digit range.
It reported $1.16 earnings per share for the quarter, missing analysts estimates of $1.36, according to online financial news site MarketWatch. The firm posted $322.29 million in sales for the quarter, compared to a consensus estimate of $341 million.
The company declared a quarterly dividend on May 27, according to the Wall Street Journal. Stockholders of record June 7 will receive a dividend of 44 cents per share on June 22.

San Diego private investment firm Copley Equity Partners, which focuses on making deals in the lower middle-market companies with strong growth opportunities, said that it has made an investment in industry-leading advisory firm FMG Leading.

FMG Capital is a national service provider that offers lending and financing solutions to small to medium sized businesses, according to its website. The firm provides working capital in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $5 million.
Established in 2012, Copley has offices in Denver and Boston. And according to its website, the firm partners with growing, lower-middle market private companies.

Cecilia brings to Webcor an established presence, once again in San Diego, with a deep understanding of the markets were interested here, and complete knowledge of the community, its subcontractors, elected officials and the way things get done in the region, said Matt Rossie, Webcors top executive.
What I love about San Diego is that its more recession-proof than other markets, Kucharski said. Obviously, we have defense contractors, a very robust health care market, life science and higher education market. Those are stable markets, which positions San Diego as very attractive for long-term growth.

Political Line | Technology and Hindutva; dog walkers and federalism; Nitish turns the tables on the BJP – The Hindu

Technology before and after 2014
Twice in two days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi proclaimed fidelity to science, and rationality. Not only that, he went a step ahead to point out that some of the secular opponents of his politics are actually purveyors of superstition and irrationality. He cited Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath who visits Noida, dismissing and disproving a long-held notion among UP observers that Chief Ministers who visit the place would lose the next election. His predecessors, Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati, had avoided visiting the UP city that abuts the national capital, for fear of losing power, which any way they did! In a reference to Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who is trying to emerge as his challenger at the national stage, Mr. Modi said it was dangerous to have a person trusting more in superstitions and blind beliefs in power as they cannot do justice with a constricted point of view. I was once told in Gujarat not to visit a place as the CMs chair will go away, but I still went there nevertheless because I have faith in knowledge and technology, Mr. Modi declared on May 26. I want to see a drone in every farm, phone in every hand, he said on May 27, at an event that showcased drone applications.
According to Mr. Modi, before 2014 - that is when he became the PM - technology was working to the disadvantage of the poor, or at the very least, was perceived to be so. What changed the whole scenario in favour of the poor was his intervention, and now technology works to the advantage of the poor.
2014 as a historical cut-off point is a defining component of Mr. Modis politics. India is seeing a cultural revival since 2014, Home Minister Amit Shah said at a pre-release screening of the film Samrat Prithvirajthis week. Prithviraj had begun the independence struggle of India that lasted for a 1000 years, he said, adding 1947 and 2014 as two milestones in Indias progress towards freedom and progress. Incidentally, there are many more films in the pipeline that will recast Indian history, in service of the Hindutva project, ahead of the 2024 general election.
Unhappy Brahmins?
In Maharashtra and Haryana, Brahmins,at least a section of them, think it is time one of them became the CM. In Haryana, the BJP is in power. In Maharashtra the wishes for a Brahmin CM come from a BJP Union Minister.
Two dog-walkers and a rogue taxman: What their transfers say about Indian federalism
The Centre recently transferred two IAS officers, husband and wife, from Delhi, one to Ladakh and the other to Arunachal Pradesh, following media reports that the couple used to capture an entire stadium every evening for themselves and their dog.This is not something uncharacteristic of IAS officers, the backbone of Indias central bureaucracy. All India services remain an efficient instrument of the Centre to keep the regions in check, mirroring an imperial system that evolved before the Republic was born.

A flamboyant officer of the Indian Revenue Service (IRS), who shot tonational limelight by arresting the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, has been later found to have led a shoddy investigation by his department. He has now been transferred to Chennai.
Central Services officers enforce order and collect taxes -- two functions that the Centre wants to control more and more. The implicit message that the peripheries of the Indian Union are lesser than the heartland from New Delhis perspective was evident in these transfers.Officers posted in the northeastern State consider it as a punishment posting, though the more permissive nature of government spending in these border regions allows for opportunities for corruption. People in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh are not happy at being considered as dumping grounds for officers found unwanted in Delhi, and understandably so.
The Northeast was officially termed the frontier, and most of the region was under the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) until the early 1970s.The regions relationship with the Centre,whether Imperial or Republican, remained in a flux.That continues to be a matter of negotiation. It is unthinkable to accept the Naga national flag as a cultural flag as hinted by the Government of India. The Naga national flag that symbolises Naga political identity is not negotiable,the National Socialist Council of Nagaland or NSCN (I-M) said recently.
On the one hand India, under the Hindu nationalist dispensation, is trying to precisely demarcate and tightly control the borders in the Northeast, but on the other, it is also trying to make it more open to commercial exchanges with neighbouring countriesis that possible? What happens when the Northeast, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar get more deeply intertwined? Each of them stands to benefit from more access, opportunities, resources and markets. These endeavours will literally bring ASEAN closer to us, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said recently in Guwahati in Assam.
The logic of neoliberal understanding of border it remains open for everything else but the movement of people- is tested in the northeastern region of India. People living in these border areas have close cultural and familial ties across political boundaries. The demarcations are difficult to enforce in a landscape that people have crisscrossed for centuries. The Chief Minister of Mizoram openly challenged a directive of the Centreto not welcome refugees from Myanmar. They are ethnically our Mizo brethren with whom we have been having close contacts throughout all these years even before India became independent, the CM wrote to the Centre last year.
Nitish turns the tables, again, on the BJP

The BJP and its alliance partner Nitish Kumar have been playing a cat and mouse game for a long time now. The BJP wants to corner Mr. Kumar and wrest the leadership of the alliance in Bihar, but it is not easy. Bihar is not yet ripe for an upper caste takeover as the BJP has managed in neighbouring UP. Mr. Kumar was made the CM in 2020 even though his party, the JD(U), won fewer seats than the BJP because he represented the OBCs. Two things are happening since then -- the BJP began to look for ways to clip his wings, and his popularity began to slide, dramatically. Mr. Kumar seems to have turned the tables on the BJP for now. He cornered the BJP into accepting his move for a caste count - a demand that the party has rejected nationally.In Bihar, that position would have been suicidal for the BJP. The last word on the BJP-Nitish equation has not been said yet though.

2023 Presidential election: Issues and concerns – Part 2 Opinion The Guardian Nigeria News Nigeria and World News – Guardian Nigeria
Posted: at 2:48 am
Continued from yesterday
The campaign promises by many of the aspirants bidding for a presidential ticket betray insincerity or sheer lack of understanding of the fundamental dysfunction of the present governance system notwithstanding their so-called experience in governance. Indeed it is demonstrably a case of nemo dat quod non-habet.
The aspirants have been moving around to address delegates on their programmes. But what is not clear is whether such programmes derive from the manifestoes of their parties in which case one expects the delegates to interrogate the aspirants on specific matters rather than accept hook line and sinker amorphous statements such as fixing the economy, insecurity and sundry hackneyed issues.
Then the question, what is the general disposition of the delegates on the issue of governance? In light of the manifold challenges confronting the country, one would expect discussions on true federalism to address a number of issues notably, insecurity which calls for multi-level policing federal police, state police and local government police; local government administration which demands that local governments be a creation of states; power/electricity which calls for a multi-grid system and autonomy of states to regulate and manage electricity generation, transmission and distribution; census which calls for the power of the state to conduct census for effective planning; a natural resource which calls for state control and development of resources and to provide support for the central government in line with the principle of fiscal federalism.
These amongst others should be matters around which the views of presidential aspirants should be sought by the delegates. Regrettably, the press has not been helpful in this regard nor has it shown interactive sessions of aspirants and delegates for the benefit of citizens.
Still on the disposition of the delegates. If as it seems, the delegates can be compromised by pecuniary inducement from aspirants as quid pro quo, then it justifies the apprehensions about the 2023 presidential election, particularly the options, in candidates, that will ultimately avail the electorate.
There is a strident call by INEC for Nigerians to take possession of their voters card (PVC) and to exercise their civic responsibility by voting. Prior to the 2015 presidential election, many Nigerians were disenchanted by the arrogant and underperforming PDP and consequently yearned for a change of government. APC exploited it as its mantra.
Although the APC manifesto was robust on issues of governance and solution, particularly on true federalism, the flag bearer of the party did not campaign on the basis of the manifesto and therefore could not be held to account when he presented his three-point agenda economy, security and anti-corruption.
As we approach the next presidential election in 2023, the compelling question is, how equipped is the electorate to interrogate presidential candidates that will emerge in the days ahead, particularly since the bulk of the voting populace is not knowledgeable about the critical issues and how they affect them.
No doubt, as in 2015, Nigerians are desirous to have a government and a leader that will address the multitude of problems in the polity. There is a sense of hopelessness, and despair exacerbated by the attitude of the political class which smacks of insensitivity. This feeling needs to be assuaged by an assurance that 2023 holds the promise of a decisive change.
The press would do well to help the electorate in this regard to do due diligence in identifying a presidential candidate whose worldview is in sync with the yearning for a fundamental restructuring of governance in Nigeria and presenting him or her with the same verve and publicity as it was for President Buhari in 2015.
