Given EPS, PE, DPS and NAV, how do you determine the real value of a share to know whether it is over-valued or undervalued. For example:

EPS = 0.268
PE= 13
DPS= 1.5
NAV= 2

Q1. What is the right market value of this share?
q2. Is it over/under valued if market value is Ksh.10?

Pls clarify


EPS 0.268 na DPS 1.5? Kwani this company is taking loans to pay dividends? I would avoid;-)


@ Okonkwo which company is this. No way can DPS be more than EPS.
Anyway that company looks over valued. An undervalued company would have a NAV not more than 1.3, ideally below 1. a Pe ratio of below ten, lets say ~6-8. But its important to look at debt/equity- you dont want a company with high loan burden.

@Elder - thanks very much for your remarks. I just used random numbers for ease of explanation. If I can use closer numbers:

Par Value: 1
Market Value: 80
EPS: 10.66
P/E: 7.13
DPS: 9.59
NAV: 27
Number of shares listed: 2,500,000

1.What would the right market share price of this share? Which formula do you use to determine the ideal price?
2. What is the ideal Debt/Equity ratio?
3. Do you recommend buy/ or no buy?

Please answer each question. This is just a classic example. Thanks

It would be better if you were talking of a real company. your DPS looks highly fictional!
P/E is marketvalue/EPS. so that P/E you've put there is wrong it should be 7.5.
The NAV is 27 and the market value is 80. a price to book of 2.96! ideal is below 1.3 like i said yesterday. It means you are paying three times for what the company is actually worth!

answers:
1. anything below 35(1.3*27)
not one factor, but a summation of many factors about the company and prevailing environmental conditions.

2. im not sure about this, it depends on the performance and risk managemnt of the company. but the lower the better.

3. No buy. price to book(market price/NAV) too high at 2.96!

I would advice you to acquire knowledge about stocks, start with www.investopedia.com.
There are no cook books in picking stocks, its knowledge and experience that will help you.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

one should also check on the industry's P/E average and check wether the company is within the ave. historical PE's should also be factored in!!

true. infact an average EPS of the last seven fy's should be used ideally.

There are cases when the company has a fairly high p/e but has good strategies for growth. In this case you should not ignore it. I remember when equity was being listed and during its first years of trading it had high p/e but for the people who could look forward, it had a low forward p/e. I missed out big on this..

Thanks all. It seems there are so many factors to be considred, and sometimes the forces of supply & demand may work. With all this info

@Elder
1. What is the Insurance Industry Average EPS?
2. When CIC lists on Wed, what maximum price should I buy at?
3. Given the ratios EPS, DPS, PE, NAV, Equity/Debt, Dividend Yield how will you rank them in order of strength (start with strongest) when determining whether to purchase a share?
