Did QIWI’s recent earnings growth beat the long-term trend and the industry?
QIWI’s trailing twelve-month earnings (from 30 June 2018) of RUруб3.1b has jumped 14% compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, this one-year growth rate has exceeded its 5-year annual growth average of 3.1%, indicating the rate at which QIWI is growing has accelerated. How has it been able to do this? Well, let’s take a look at if it is merely owing to industry tailwinds, or if Qiwi has experienced some company-specific growth.
In terms of returns from investment, Qiwi has fallen short of achieving a 20% return on equity (ROE), recording 13% instead. Furthermore, its return on assets (ROA) of 6.5% is below the US IT industry of 6.7%, indicating Qiwi’s are utilized less efficiently. And finally, its return on capital (ROC), which also accounts for Qiwi’s debt level, has declined over the past 3 years from 33% to 17%.
What does this mean?
Though Qiwi’s past data is helpful, it is only one aspect of my investment thesis. Recent positive growth isn’t always indicative of a continued optimistic outlook. There may be factors that are impacting the industry as a whole, hence the high industry growth rate over the same time frame.
