Session 12: Equity Investments: Valuation Models
Reading 44: Market-Based Valuation: Price and Enterprise Value Multiples

LOS e: Calculate and interpret underlying earnings.

 

 

Alpha Software (AS) recently reported a representative annual earnings per share (EPS) of $1.75, which included an extraordinary loss of $0.19 and an expense of $0.10 related to acquisition costs during the accounting period, neither of which are expected to recur. Given that the most recent share price is $65.00, what is a useful AS’s trailing price to earnings (P/E) for valuation purposes?

A)
 31.86.
B)
 37.14.
C)
 44.52.

 

Using an underlying earnings concept, an analyst would add back the temporary charges against earnings: $1.75 + $0.19 + $0.10 = $2.04. The resulting trailing P/E = 65.00 / 2.04 = 31.86.

Glad Tidings Gifts (GTG) recently reported a representative annual earnings per share (EPS) of $2.25, which included an extraordinary loss of $0.17 and an expense of $0.12 related to acquisition costs during the accounting period, neither of which are expected to recur. Given that the most recent share price is $50.00, what is a useful GTG’s trailing price to earnings (P/E) for valuation purposes?

A)
 22.22.
B)
 25.51.
C)
 19.69.

Using an underlying earnings concept, an analyst would add back the temporary charges against earnings: $2.25 + $0.17 + $0.12 = $2.54. The resulting trailing P/E = 50.00 / 2.54 = 19.69.
