Dominion Homes Inc.

Dominion Homes Inc. is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $3.95 and $8.99 over the past year. With 8,519,740 shares outstanding, a recent price of $4.55 gives a total market capitalization of $38,083,236. While there are certainly larger companies, Dominion Homes Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Dominion Homes Inc. created $-4.96 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Dominion Homes Inc. is currently priced by the market at 0.00 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, Dominion Homes Inc. is unlikely to be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is not on its way.
