Investors are often guided by the idea of discovering ‘the next big thing’, even if that means buying ‘story stocks’ without any revenue, let alone profit. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. 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.
If this kind of company isn’t your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Okinawa Financial Group (TSE:7350). Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Okinawa Financial Group with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.

How Fast Is Okinawa Financial Group Growing?
Generally, companies experiencing growth in earnings per share (EPS) should see similar trends in share price. Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. It certainly is nice to see that Okinawa Financial Group has managed to grow EPS by 28% per year over three years. If the company can sustain that sort of growth, we’d expect shareholders to come away satisfied.
Top-line growth is a great indicator that growth is sustainable, and combined with a high earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margin, it’s a great way for a company to maintain a competitive advantage in the market. Our analysis has highlighted that Okinawa Financial Group’s revenue from operations did not account for all of their revenue in the previous 12 months, so our analysis of its margins might not accurately reflect the underlying business. While we note Okinawa Financial Group achieved similar EBIT margins to last year, revenue grew by a solid 15% to JP¥63b. That’s progress.
