But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.'\nIn the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, my choice may seem old fashioned; I still prefer profitable companies like America's Car-Mart . Now, I'm not saying that the stock is necessarily undervalued today; but I can't shake an appreciation for the profitability of the business itself. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.\n View our latest analysis for America's Car-Mart \nHow Fast Is America's Car-Mart Growing?\nIf 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). Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. Who among us would not applaud America's Car-Mart's stratospheric annual EPS growth of 38%, compound, over the last three years? While that sort of growth rate isn't sustainable for long, it certainly catches my attention; like a crow with a sparkly stone.\nOne way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. I note that America's Car-Mart's revenue from operations was lower than its revenue in the last twelve months, so that could distort my analysis of its margins. America's Car-Mart shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 11% to 14%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in my book.\nIn the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings, and revenue, over time.

As a result, I'm encouraged by the fact that insiders own America's Car-Mart shares worth a considerable sum. To be specific, they have US$48m worth of shares. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. That amounts to 6.9% of the company, demonstrating a degree of high-level alignment with shareholders.\nIt's good to see that insiders are invested in the company, but are remuneration levels reasonable? A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. I discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like America's Car-Mart with market caps between US$400m and US$1.6b is about US$2.3m.\nThe America's Car-Mart CEO received total compensation of just US$798k in the year to . That looks like modest pay to me, and may hint at a certain respect for the interests of shareholders. While the level of CEO compensation isn't a huge factor in my view of the company, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.\nDoes America's Car-Mart Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?\nAmerica's Car-Mart's earnings per share growth have been levitating higher, like a mountain goat scaling the Alps. The cherry on top is that insiders own a bucket-load of shares, and the CEO pay seems really quite reasonable. The sharp increase in earnings could signal good business momentum.
