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!
