MHI Hospitality Corporation

MHI Hospitality Corporation is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $8.60 and $11.18 over the past year. With 6,847,000 shares outstanding, a recent price of $10.90 gives a total market capitalization of $75,111,592. While there are certainly larger companies, MHI Hospitality Corporation has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, MHI Hospitality Corporation created $0.54 in earnings for every share outstanding.

MHI Hospitality Corporation is currently priced by the market at 20.60 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, MHI Hospitality Corporation could be an interesting value proposition.
