Farmer Brothers Co. is currently priced by the market at 63.90 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, Farmer Brothers Co. could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
