With 21,331,500 shares outstanding, a recent price of $62.85 gives a total market capitalization of $1,335,351,867. While there are certainly larger companies, PS Business Parks Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack.

PS Business Parks Inc. is currently priced by the market at 83.00 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 over $50 a share and earnings per share below $1 a share, PS Business Parks Inc. could be an interesting value proposition.
