Jaclyn Inc.

Jaclyn Inc. is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $7.30 and $14.25 over the past year. With 2,451,110 shares outstanding, a recent price of $11.45 gives a total market capitalization of $28,065,209. While there are certainly larger companies, Jaclyn Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Jaclyn Inc. created $0.44 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Jaclyn Inc. is currently priced by the market at 25.80 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, Jaclyn Inc. could be an interesting value proposition.
