Pro-Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Pro-Pharmaceuticals Inc. is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $0.24 and $2.90 over the past year. With 40,364,790 shares outstanding, a recent price of $0.48 gives a total market capitalization of $18,164,155. While there are certainly larger companies, Pro-Pharmaceuticals Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Pro-Pharmaceuticals Inc. created $-0.03 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Pro-Pharmaceuticals Inc. is currently priced by the market at 0.00 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, Pro-Pharmaceuticals Inc. is unlikely to be an interesting value proposition.
