巴菲特致股东的信原文精读Day407:
原文:An analysis similar to that made by our hypothetical bondholder is appropriate for owners in thinking about whether a company’s unrestricted earnings should be retained or paid out. Of course, the analysis is much more difficult and subject to error because the rate earned on reinvested earnings is not a contractual figure, as in our bond case, but rather a fluctuating figure. Owners must guess as to what the rate will average over the intermediate future. However, once an informed guess is made, the rest of the analysis is simple: you should wish your earnings to be reinvested if they can be expected to earn high returns, and you should wish them paid to you if low returns are the likely outcome of reinvestment.(1984)
释义:1.“hypothetical”意为“假设的”;
2.“contractual”意为“契约的”;
3.“intermediate”意为“中期的”。
精译:类似于我们对假设的债券持有人所做的分析,适用于股东们思考公司的非受限利润是应该保留还是应该分红。当然,对股票的分析要困难得多,也更容易出错,因为再投资的收益率不是债券那样的合约数字,而是一个波动的数字。股东们必须预测中期留存收益的平均收益率是多少。一旦做出了明智的预测,剩下的分析就很简单了:如果你的利润有望获得高回报,你应该希望它们再投资;如果再投资可能是低回报,你应该希望分红给你。(1984年)
心得:是留存收益再投资还是分红,股票和债券的分析原理是一样的。只不过股票涉及到对留存收益率的判断,相对复杂一些。其背后蕴含着一个朴素的逻辑:公司和股东谁赚得更多,这笔钱就应该交给谁。
