Note - CAGR essentially smoothes out the progress of your investment over a period of time, providing a clearer picture of your annual return. It may give the impression that the investment has produced a stable return / decline even if the investment was extremely volatile, fluctuating a great deal from year to year.
Note - If Sales Revenue shows a moderate or stable growth while EPS shows an explosive growth, it could possibly be due to accounting manipulation on the other hand if EPS shows poor growth compared to sales then it means the company is issuing new stock and diluting its existing shareholders.
Reserves, Dividends Growth
Retained Earnings Growth
Retained Earnings Growth is the percent increase / decrease of a company's retained net income or reserves or surplus over time. A company can use retained earnings to maintain current operations, or to invest in new ventures. If a company isn't adding to its retained earnings, it isn't growing its net worth.
Dividend Growth National Australia Bank Limited
A company paying dividends is generally a good sign. Well established companies offer dividends back to its shareholders while high growth companies usually do not pay dividends since they reinvest the profits back in the business. If a dividend paying company stops paying dividends then that is a big red flag. Dividend per share is better metric compared to looking at just the dividends because DPS takes into account the number of shares as well.
