With 24,547,000 shares outstanding, a recent price of $15.09 gives a total market capitalization of $369,923,283.

Midwest Banc Holdings Inc. is currently priced by the market at 20.50 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, Midwest Banc Holdings Inc. could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
