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. 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. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.

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 Exelon (NASDAQ:EXC). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business.

How Fast Is Exelon Growing?

If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you’d expect a company’s share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. That means EPS growth is considered a real positive by most successful long-term investors. Exelon managed to grow EPS by 12% per year, over three years. That growth rate is fairly good, assuming the company can keep it up.

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. Exelon shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 19% to 21%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in our book.

Are Exelon Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?

We would not expect to see insiders owning a large percentage of a US$45b company like Exelon. But we do take comfort from the fact that they are investors in the company. As a matter of fact, their holding is valued at US$29m. This considerable investment should help drive long-term value in the business. While their ownership only accounts for 0.06%, this is still a considerable amount at stake to encourage the business to maintain a strategy that will deliver value to shareholders.
