Hi-Shear Technology Corporation

Hi-Shear Technology Corporation is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $6.06 and $16.80 over the past year. With 6,780,000 shares outstanding, a recent price of $10.42 gives a total market capitalization of $71,596,803. While there are certainly larger companies, Hi-Shear Technology Corporation has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Hi-Shear Technology Corporation created $0.43 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Hi-Shear Technology Corporation is currently priced by the market at 24.60 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, Hi-Shear Technology Corporation could be an interesting value proposition.
