For beginners, it can seem like a good idea (and an exciting prospect) to buy a company that tells a good story to investors, even if it currently lacks a track record of revenue and profit. 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.

So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn’t suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like MBB (ETR:MBB). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide MBB with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.

How Fast Is MBB Growing Its Earnings Per Share?

MBB has undergone a massive growth in earnings per share over the last three years. So much so that this three year growth rate wouldn’t be a fair assessment of the company’s future. Thus, it makes sense to focus on more recent growth rates, instead. In impressive fashion, MBB’s EPS grew from €4.89 to €10.01, over the previous 12 months. It’s a rarity to see 105% year-on-year growth like that.

It’s often helpful to take a look at earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins, as well as revenue growth, to get another take on the quality of the company’s growth. The good news is that MBB is growing revenues, and EBIT margins improved by 5.1 percentage points to 12%, over the last year. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in our book.

Are MBB Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?

It should give investors a sense of security owning shares in a company if insiders also own shares, creating a close alignment their interests. Shareholders will be pleased by the fact that insiders own MBB shares worth a considerable sum. As a matter of fact, their holding is valued at €15m. That’s a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. Even though that’s only about 1.3% of the company, it’s enough money to indicate alignment between the leaders of the business and ordinary shareholders.
