Valuation


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 3.48 indicates a discount versus the S&P 500 average of 4.02 and a discount versus the subsector average of 4.85. 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, ITURAN LOCATION & CONTROL proves to trade at a discount to investment alternatives.

ITRN NM Peers 27.98   ITRN 6.57 Peers 16.61

Neutral. The absence of a valid P/E ratio happens when a stock can not be valued on the basis of a negative stream of earnings.

ITRN's P/E is negative making this valuation measure meaningless.

 

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.

ITRN is trading at a significant discount to its peers.

Discount. A lower price-to-projected earnings ratio than its peers can signify a less expensive stock or lower future growth expectations.

ITRN is trading at a significant discount to its peers.

 

Neutral. The PEG ratio is the stock’s P/E divided by the consensus estimate of long-term earnings growth. Faster growth can justify higher price multiples.

Discount. A lower price-to-book ratio makes a stock more attractive to investors seeking stocks with lower market values per dollar of equity on the balance sheet.

ITRN is trading at a significant discount to its peers.

 

Lower. Elevated earnings growth rates can lead to capital appreciation and justify higher price-to-earnings ratios.

However, ITRN is expected to significantly trail its peers on the basis of its earnings growth rate.

ITRN 1.64 Peers 4.14   ITRN -15.53 Peers -1.17

Discount. In the absence of P/E and P/B multiples, the price-to-sales ratio can display the value investors are placing on each dollar of sales.

ITRN is trading at a significant discount to its subsector on this measurement.

 

Lower. A sales growth rate that trails the subsector implies that a company is losing market share.

ITRN significantly trails its peers on the basis of sales growth.
