National HealthCare Corporation is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $39.22 and $59.00 over the past year. With 12,538,330 shares outstanding, a recent price of $52.99 gives a total market capitalization of $661,898,452. While there are certainly larger companies, National HealthCare Corporation has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, National HealthCare Corporation created $2.97 in earnings for every share outstanding.
National HealthCare Corporation is currently priced by the market at 17.80 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 over $50 a share and earnings per share in excess of $1 a share, National HealthCare Corporation could be an interesting value proposition.
