With 5,715,890 shares outstanding, a recent price of $69.50 gives a total market capitalization of $399,140,609. While there are certainly larger companies, Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. created $1.98 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is currently priced by the market at 36.10 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 over $50 a share and earnings per share in excess of $1 a share, Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. could be an interesting value proposition.
