With 12,261,310 shares outstanding, a recent price of $18.39 gives a total market capitalization of $226,711,619. While there are certainly larger companies, Marlin Business Services Corp. has definitely earned its place in the pack.

Marlin Business Services Corp. is currently priced by the market at 11.80 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, Marlin Business Services Corp. could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
