With 28,766,000 shares outstanding, a recent price of $21.75 gives a total market capitalization of $623,934,555.

Electro Scientific Industries Inc. is currently priced by the market at 27.40 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, Electro Scientific Industries Inc. could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
