With 9,123,330 shares outstanding, a recent price of $50.18 gives a total market capitalization of $471,128,756. While there are certainly larger companies, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated created $2.97 in earnings for every share outstanding.
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated is currently priced by the market at 16.90 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 over $50 a share and earnings per share in excess of $1 a share, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
