HopFed Bancorp Inc is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $14.39 and $16.80 over the past year. With 3,607,600 shares outstanding, a recent price of $15.64 gives a total market capitalization of $55,917,800. While there are certainly larger companies, HopFed Bancorp Inc has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, HopFed Bancorp Inc created $1.02 in earnings for every share outstanding.
HopFed Bancorp Inc is currently priced by the market at 15.40 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 in excess of $1 a share, HopFed Bancorp Inc could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
