HOLD. The current P/E ratio is negative, which has no meaningful value in the assessment of premium or discount valuation, it simply displays that the company has negative earnings. For additional comparison, its price-to-book ratio of 2.32 indicates a significant discount versus the S&P 500 average of 4.68 and a significant discount versus the subsector average of 9.55. The price-to-sales ratio is well below both the S&P 500 average and the subsector average, indicating a discount. After reviewing these and other key valuation criteria, DATA STORAGE CORP proves to trade at a discount to investment alternatives.

Discount. The P/CF ratio, a stock’s price divided by the company's cash flow from operations, is useful for comparing companies with different capital requirements or financing structures. DTST is trading at a significant discount to its peers. |
