Monmouth Capital Corporation

Monmouth Capital Corporation is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $5.03 and $6.10 over the past year. With 5,736,850 shares outstanding, a recent price of $5.50 gives a total market capitalization of $31,552,675. While there are certainly larger companies, Monmouth Capital Corporation has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Monmouth Capital Corporation created $0.14 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Monmouth Capital Corporation is currently priced by the market at 39.50 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, Monmouth Capital Corporation could be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is well on its way.
