Community Capital Corporation

Community Capital Corporation is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $18.58 and $22.39 over the past year. With 3,839,310 shares outstanding, a recent price of $19.95 gives a total market capitalization of $76,786,200. While there are certainly larger companies, Community Capital Corporation has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Community Capital Corporation created $1.55 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Community Capital Corporation is currently priced by the market at 12.90 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 under $50 a share and earnings per share in excess of $1 a share, Community Capital Corporation could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
