CytomX Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CTMX) shareholders have earned a 79% return over the last year

The simplest way to invest in stocks is to buy exchange traded funds. But you can significantly boost your returns by picking above-average stocks. For example, the CytomX Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTMX) share price is up 79% in the last 1 year, clearly besting the market return of around 18% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! Looking back further, the stock price is 42% higher than it was three years ago. So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. During the last year CytomX Therapeutics grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 128%. It's fair to say that the share price gain of 79% did not keep pace with the EPS growth. Therefore, it seems the market isn't as excited about CytomX Therapeutics as it was before. This could be an opportunity. This cautious sentiment is reflected in its (fairly low) P/E ratio of 8.90. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We know that CytomX Therapeutics has improved its bottom line over the last three years, but what does the future have in store? If you are thinking of buying or selling CytomX Therapeutics stock, you should check out this FREE detailed report on its balance sheet. A Different Perspective We're pleased to report that CytomX Therapeutics shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 79% over one year. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 11% per year over five years. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Even so, be aware that CytomX Therapeutics is showing 3 warning signs in our investment analysis , you should know about... But note: CytomX Therapeutics may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).

CRA International, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRAI) Just Reported Second-Quarter Earnings: Have Analysts Changed Their Mind On The Stock?

CRA International, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRAI) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 4.0% to US$170 in the week after its latest second-quarter results. CRA International beat revenue expectations by 3.6%, at US$187m. Statutory earnings per share (EPS) came in at US$1.79, some 2.5% short of analyst estimates. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on CRA International after the latest results. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. After the latest results, the three analysts covering CRA International are now predicting revenues of US$733.0m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a satisfactory 2.8% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to dip 2.9% to US$8.33 in the same period. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$724.3m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$8.44 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results. See our latest analysis for CRA International There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of US$236, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. Currently, the most bullish analyst values CRA International at US$244 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$228. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting CRA International is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions. Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 5.7% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 7.0% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 5.8% annually. So although CRA International is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's only growing at about the rate of the wider industry. The Bottom Line The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$236, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets. With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on CRA International. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.

A guide to every historical figure who's been on 'The Gilded Age'

"The Gilded Age" was renewed for a fourth season ahead of the season three finale. While some of its characters are fictional, the show is populated with real people from the era. Oscar Wilde, Booker T. Washington, and J. P. Morgan have all popped up on the show. There are few eras that have captivated people more than the Gilded Age, a period in the late 19th century characterized by extreme wealth (and wealth inequality), progress, immigration, and a certain ruthlessness from the businessmen of the age. And now, any history buff can tune into HBO's " The Gilded Age," which concludes its third season on August 10, to see this iconic time period brought to life. The show is populated by a mix of real-life historical figures, completely fictional creations, and a few characters who differ in name only from real people of the time. Here's a guide to every real person who made the jump from history books to HBO in "The Gilded Age." Carrie Coon plays Bertha Russell, who's based on Alva Vanderbilt. Alva Vanderbilt Belmont was a Gilded Age socialite who married a Vanderbilt railroad heir, William K. Vanderbilt. In 1882, the couple built a mansion that took up a whole city block on Fifth Avenue in New York City — much like the mansion the Russells move into in the series premiere. Bertha isn't exactly Alva, but the similarities are there, including Alva's hunger and determination to be accepted by the upper crust of New York society, her strong personality, and love of the opera. Vera Farmiga plays Bertha's daughter Gladys, based on Alva's daughter Consuelo. If there was any doubt that Bertha and Gladys were based on Alva and Consuelo, that ended when Gladys married off to a British duke against her will, in order to bring her family status and credibility. If you don't want to know what could happen to Gladys, skip ahead. In real life, Consuelo's marriage to Charles Spencer-Churchill, 9th Duke of Marlborough, was largely an unhappy one, though she and her husband mostly lived separately. They separated in 1906 and were officially divorced in 1921. The marriage was annulled in 1926. However, Bertha's husband George (Morgan Spector) isn't based on a Vanderbilt. Much of his character comes from Jay Gould. George is portrayed as a full-blown robber baron, much like Gould was. In fact, Gould is remembered as one of the most cutthroat railroad tycoons of the Gilded Age. As his Encyclopedia Britannica entry notes, he "remained ruthless, unscrupulous, and friendless to the end" before his death in 1892. George is similarly unafraid to cross anyone, as long as it benefits his bottom line. And much like Gould, while George spares no feelings for his competition, he does love his wife and children — and, as fans of the show have pointed out, is quite handsome. They even call him " Railroad Daddy." Peggy Scott, as played by Denée Benton, is inspired by a few real women, including Julia C. Collins. One of the first things we learn about Peggy is that she's an aspiring writer, and a talented one at that. It's clear that "Gilded Age" creator Julian Fellowes was inspired by Julia C. Collins, the first Black female author to publish a novel. Collins' book, "The Curse of Caste; or The Slave Bride," was published in serial form across eight months in 1865. However, she died of tuberculosis before she was able to finish it. Thankfully, Peggy has fully recovered from the illness she contracted at the beginning of season three. Donna Murphy plays Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, the queen of New York high society. During the Gilded Age, the undisputed queen of New York was Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, who, despite the enormous wealth of her husband, William Backhouse Astor Jr., was actually the richer of the two due to her family's wealth dating back to the first settlement of Manhattan by Dutch colonists in the 1600s. Astor was the leader of a group called the Four Hundred, a list that contained anyone who was anyone in the late 1800s. Perhaps coincidentally, her townhouse's ballroom could fit up to 400 people comfortably. Murphy, a two-time Tony Award winner, brings needed gravitas to the role. Caroline's youngest daughter, Carrie Astor, is played by Amy Forsyth. Carrie Astor has had a recurring role across "The Gilded Age," popping up across three seasons mainly to convince her mother to let the Russells become part of their elite group of friends. If the show follows what happened in real life, Carrie's future marriage to banker Marshall Orme Wilson will cause quite a stir, as her parents did not approve of the match. In fact, according to a biography of the Astors, Carrie "starved herself into bulimia" until her mother acquiesced. One of the show's more eclectic characters is Mamie Fish, played by Ashlie Atkinson. Fish is one of the first people we meet in "The Gilded Age," as Bertha and George's son Larry is invited to vacation at her home in Rhode Island. In real life, Fish was another one of the most powerful socialites of the era alongside Alva Vanderbilt and Tessie Fair. The three ruled as the "Triumvirate" after Caroline Astor's death in 1908. In both fiction and real life, Fish loved to throw a lavish party. Caroline Astor's right-hand man, Ward McAllister, is played by Nathan Lane, distinct mustache and all. While trying to make it as a writer, Peggy meets Timothy Thomas Fortune, played by Sullivan Jones. After deciding not to take her name off her writing to be published in white newspapers, Peggy meets Fortune, the real publisher of The New York Age, a leading Black newspaper of the day (called The New York Globe in the show). In both the show and reality, Fortune was married by the time of "The Gilded Age," but it didn't stop Peggy and Fortune from developing a relationship during season two. John Sanders plays the famous (and problematic) architect, Stanford White. If you've ever walked around Washington Square Park in Manhattan, you've seen one of White's most renowned pieces of work: the Washington Square Arch. In the show, White is also responsible for designing the Russells' behemoth of a townhouse on Fifth Avenue. In real life, White was involved in one of the era's biggest scandals. When he was 48, he was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting 16-year-old Evelyn Nesbit, a model and actor. In 1905, when Nesbit was 21, she married another prominent New York figure, Henry Kendall Thaw. When Thaw learned what White had done to his wife, he murdered him during a performance at Madison Square Garden (a building he designed). The subsequent trial was a media circus and was even dubbed the trial of the century. Public opinion of White plummeted during the trial when the public learned about his private life. According to The New York Times, Vanity Fair even ran this headline: "Stanford White, Voluptuary and Pervert, Dies the Death of a Dog." Clara Barton, as played by Linda Emond, appeared in the first season. In season one, Marian (Louisa Jacobson) takes her aunts to a talk being given by Barton, a Civil War nurse, voting rights and equal rights activist, and key member of the American Red Cross. J. P. Morgan, as played by Bill Camp, joined the cast in season three. The real Morgan was considered the greatest banker who ever lived, so it shouldn't be surprising that George, in need of capital, would turn to him for help. Jordan Waller played Oscar Wilde in a season two episode. The famous playwright and author of "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" popped up in season two while his play "Vera; or, The Nihilists" premiered in New York. Of course, he found time to hit on John Adams (Claybourne Elder), as well. Emily Warren Roebling, one of the engineers of the Brooklyn Bridge, was played by Liz Wisan in season two. Roebling essentially took over for her husband, Washington Roebling, as chief engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge after he developed decompression sickness and became bedridden. The Brooklyn Bridge is unveiled during a season two episode, and George sends his son, Larry (Harry Richardson), to represent him at a trustees meeting, when he discovers that Emily is the one running the show. Suffragist Sarah J. Garnet, as played by Melanie Nicholls-King, appears in season two as well. Nicholls-King appeared in three episodes of season two as Garnet, a landmark figure in Black history, as she was a principal, the founder of the Equal Suffrage League, and owned her own seamstress shop. Booker T. Washington, played by Michael Braugher, also appeared in two episodes of season two. Washington is known for his work in advancing the education of Black Americans in a post-Civil War America, including as the first leader of the Tuskegee Institute, which is now the HBCU (Historically Black College or University), Tuskegee University. Washington is in two episodes of the second season, when Peggy and Fortune make their way to Tuskegee to report on it for the newspaper. Gladys gets her portrait done by artist John Singer Sargent (played by Bobby Steggert). Sargent's season three appearance is in 1883, just before he became famous for his painting "Portrait of Madame X" in 1884 — in fact, he mentions the then-scandalous painting while speaking with Bertha, who notes that some scandal will only make him more expensive. Gladys' husband, Hector Vere, the Duke of Buckingham, is based on Charles Spencer-Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough. He's played by Ben Lamb. In the show and real life, this duke is desperate for a sizable dowry so he can continue upkeep on his castle (Sidmouth Castle in the show, Blenheim Palace in real life). However, Hector seems like he'll (hopefully) be a better husband to Gladys than Charles Spencer-Churchill was to Consuelo Vanderbilt. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper is played by LisaGay Hamilton in season three. Peggy brings Harper to a ladies' tea she's hosting to help drum up support for the suffrage movement, much to the displeasure of the conservative Elizabeth Kirkland (Phylicia Rashad). Harper was one of the first Black female authors to be published — and left behind a large body of work — and also was an activist for suffrage, temperance, and abolition. Russell Risley Sage, played by Peter McRobbie, joined the show in season three. When George is summoned to a meeting by J. P. Morgan, he meets other financiers, including Sage. Sage, in real life, worked closely with Jay Gould (if you'll recall, the basis for George's character). The two managed railroads together. However, in "The Gilded Age," the two have a much more adversarial relationship. Sage is perhaps most famous for surviving an assassination attempt at his office by using one of his employees, William R. Laidlaw Jr., as a human shield. Laidlaw survived but sued Sage after he was permanently disabled. As The New York Times put it, Sage was found to owe him $25,000, "simply because he used William R. Laidlaw, Jr., as a shield to save his gray hairs from being brought prematurely to the grave."
