MEDTOX Scientific Inc. is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $8.40 and $31.63 over the past year. With 8,216,080 shares outstanding, a recent price of $16.92 gives a total market capitalization of $140,905,769. While there are certainly larger companies, MEDTOX Scientific Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, MEDTOX Scientific Inc. created $0.66 in earnings for every share outstanding.
MEDTOX Scientific Inc. is currently priced by the market at 25.80 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 below $1 a share, MEDTOX Scientific Inc. could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
