With 15,920,380 shares outstanding, a recent price of $15.60 gives a total market capitalization of $252,178,822. While there are certainly larger companies, Metretek Technologies Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Metretek Technologies Inc. created $0.79 in earnings for every share outstanding.
Metretek Technologies Inc. is currently priced by the market at 20.10 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, Metretek Technologies Inc. could be an interesting value proposition.
