Centerplate Inc. is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $13.25 and $19.88 over the past year. With 22,524,990 shares outstanding, a recent price of $17.77 gives a total market capitalization of $399,593,317. While there are certainly larger companies, Centerplate Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Centerplate Inc. created $0.05 in earnings for every share outstanding.
Centerplate Inc. is currently priced by the market at 388.70 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, Centerplate Inc. could be an interesting value proposition.
