Caliper Life Sciences Inc. is a NASDAQ listed security that has been trading in a range between $4.02 and $6.43 over the past year. With 47,169,370 shares outstanding, a recent price of $4.91 gives a total market capitalization of $232,544,986. While there are certainly larger companies, Caliper Life Sciences Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Caliper Life Sciences Inc. created $-0.79 in earnings for every share outstanding.
Caliper Life Sciences Inc. is currently priced by the market at 0.00 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, Caliper Life Sciences Inc. is unlikely to be an interesting value proposition. Consistent earnings are the key to high valuations and this security is not on its way.
