Retractable Technologies Inc.

Retractable Technologies Inc. is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $2.20 and $3.96 over the past year. With 23,739,160 shares outstanding, a recent price of $2.40 gives a total market capitalization of $58,160,943. While there are certainly larger companies, Retractable Technologies Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Retractable Technologies Inc. created $-0.29 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Retractable Technologies 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, Retractable Technologies Inc. is unlikely to be an interesting value proposition.
