RE: What the p/e ratio? eomI suppose there are a thousand different ways to slice & dice the numbers on any particular stock. Growth investors look for high net margins & strong EPS growth rates, value guys want low Price/Book Value (BV also known as shareholders equity) & low P/E's. However there many different varieties of each of these as well. I am more of a GARP (growth at reasonable price) type investor. Unfortunately you can't have everything in one stock. High net margins are great for a company, the higher the better & then combine that with very high EPS growth & that is what you get with BEV. The net result is always a high P/B. BEV is very appealing to growth investors but perhaps not to true value guys thus the meaning of my comment. Although the low PEG could appeal to certain value types as well. I try to point out all the facts in sharing my research. Many may recall when many of the best s/w firms that had characteristics like BEV had P/Es in the 40's & 50's due to their appeal. The P/B's were much higher than 6 too. And that wasn't just at the peak of the tech bubble. Companies like MSFT, ORCL & ADBE. Cheers!!!
