Coleman Cable Inc. is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $15.50 and $30.30 over the past year. With 16,786,900 shares outstanding, a recent price of $27.95 gives a total market capitalization of $465,668,602. While there are certainly larger companies, Coleman Cable Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Coleman Cable Inc. created $1.95 in earnings for every share outstanding.
Coleman Cable Inc. is currently priced by the market at 14.40 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 in excess of $1 a share, Coleman Cable Inc. could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
