No, we are not predicting the future but are only pointing out what happened in the recent past. The % change in revenue and earnings corresponds to the changes that occurred in the most recent annual period, i.e. FY 2011 vs FY 2010. In the case of KO, the annual change in revenue was 33.1% while the annual change in earnings was -27.4%. Thus, for a 1% change in revenue, KO-US grew its earnings by -0.8% (= -27.4/33.1). Hope that helps.
We use the phrase to refer to companies that exhibit expected earnings growth (P/E) that is above peer median, but historical revenue growth (over 3 years) that is below peer median, indicative of a startup or anticipated strategic play.
Suitors For American Airlines: Better Prospects If We Look North To Alaska Air [View article]
We don't disagree that AMR's board/management might be soliciting other proposals even if the die is cast in LCC's favor...but AMR's board/management needs to do that - it is their duty to get the best possible offer for their shareholders (other considerations not withstanding!).
This article is not intended to be predictive of which way AMR will go. We merely wanted to consider the ability of each potential suitor to produce a better combined entity for shareholders of the combined entity. We show how merging with LCC is likely a lose-lose for both shareholders while other suitors (notably ALK) might offer better prospects. Importantly, we also wanted to showcase the analysis capability of our platform to auto-generate this type of fundamental analysis (and other perspectives) for thousands of stocks around the globe. We hope this analysis was thought provoking enough for you to consider looking at other companies to generate your own analysis at http://bit.ly/Qf9yT0.
