Prospect Medical Holdings Inc

Prospect Medical Holdings Inc is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $3.96 and $6.25 over the past year. With 7,939,990 shares outstanding, a recent price of $5.50 gives a total market capitalization of $43,511,145. While there are certainly larger companies, Prospect Medical Holdings Inc has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Prospect Medical Holdings Inc created $0.21 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Prospect Medical Holdings Inc is currently priced by the market at 26.20 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, Prospect Medical Holdings Inc could be an interesting value proposition.
