OBIC Co.,Ltd.’s (TSE:4684) Share Price Could Signal Some Risk
OBIC Co.,Ltd.’s (TSE:4684) price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 33.5x might make it look like a strong sell right now compared to the market in Japan, where around half of the companies have P/E ratios below 13x and even P/E’s below 9x are quite common. Although, it’s not wise to just take the P/E at face value as there may be an explanation why it’s so lofty.
With earnings growth that’s superior to most other companies of late, OBICLtd has been doing relatively well. It seems that many are expecting the strong earnings performance to persist, which has raised the P/E. If not, then existing shareholders might be a little nervous about the viability of the share price.
