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 1.80 indicates a significant discount versus the S&P 500 average of 4.68 and a significant discount versus the subsector average of 6.43. The price-to-sales ratio is well above the S&P 500 average, but well below the subsector average. After reviewing these and other key valuation criteria, VENTAS INC proves to trade at a discount to investment alternatives.
