Bakers Footwear Group Inc.

Bakers Footwear Group Inc. is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $6.25 and $15.75 over the past year. With 6,493,030 shares outstanding, a recent price of $6.35 gives a total market capitalization of $41,620,321. While there are certainly larger companies, Bakers Footwear Group Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Bakers Footwear Group Inc. created $-0.49 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Bakers Footwear Group Inc. is currently priced by the market at 0.00 times last year’s earnings. Many trading multiples around the world are quite attractive these days, but don’t be fooled. A Price to Earnings ratio of 0 simply means that the security didn’t make any money last year.

With a share price under $50 a share and earnings per share below $1 a share, Bakers Footwear Group Inc. is unlikely to be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is not on its way.
