Analysis:
rates CoreSite Realty as a
. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance and compelling growth in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 3.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 18.0%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- CORESITE REALTY CORP has improved earnings per share by 40.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, CORESITE REALTY CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.66 versus $0.50 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.82 versus $0.66).
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $24.97 million or 10.99% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, CORESITE REALTY CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -43.90%.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 40.00% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 48.80% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- The company, on the basis of net income growth from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed compared to the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry average, but is greater than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 29.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $5.22 million to $6.75 million.
