An analyst is preparing a presentation on “Interpreting PE ratios” and has the following data:
Portfolio % | Stock PE | |
Stock AAA | 60% | 10 |
Stock BBB | 40% | 15 |
Which of the following is closest to the weighted harmonic mean of these two PE ratios?
| ||
| ||
|
The weighted harmonic mean of the two PE ratios is a harmonic mean which is weighted by the portfolio weights. 1/[(0.60 × 1/10) + (0.40 × 1/15)] = 11.54
An analyst is calculating the weighted harmonic mean P/E ratio of a 2-stock portfolio. Stocks AAA and BBB have prices of $12 and $15, respectively, and EPS of $1 and $2, respectively. Which of the following is the weighted harmonic mean P/E of the portfolio closest to?
| ||
| ||
|
The weighted harmonic mean is 1/[(12/27)(1/12) + (15/27)(2/15)] = 27/3 = 9.00 The weighted harmonic mean of the individual stocks P/Es is the best measure of the P/E for a portfolio of stocks.
An analyst is preparing a presentation on “Interpreting PE ratios” and has the following data:
Portfolio % | Stock PE | |
Stock AAA | 60% | 10 |
Stock BBB | 40% | 15 |
Which of the following is the most appropriate measure for calculating the portfolio P/E?
| ||
| ||
|
The weighted harmonic mean of the 10 and 15 will give the result closest to the portfolio earnings divided by the portfolio value.
