CKX Lands Inc

CKX Lands Inc is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $10.75 and $16.50 over the past year. With 1,942,500 shares outstanding, a recent price of $13.85 gives a total market capitalization of $26,437,424. While there are certainly larger companies, CKX Lands Inc has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, CKX Lands Inc created $0.79 in earnings for every share outstanding.

CKX Lands Inc is currently priced by the market at 17.20 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, CKX Lands Inc could be an interesting value proposition.
