问题如下:
An analyst gathers the following information about similar companies in the banking sector:
Which of the companies is most likely to be undervalued?
选项:
A.First Bank.
B.Prime Bank.
C.Pioneer Trust.
解释:
C is correct.
Relative to the others, Pioneer Trust has the lowest P/E multiple and the P/B multiple is tied for the lowest with Prime Bank. Given the law of one price, similar companies should trade at similar P/B and P/E levels. Thus, based on the information presented, Pioneer is most likely to be undervalued.
为什么是要找两个指标最低的呢?是因为公司都差不多,所以假设他们的盈利能力神马的都一样么?要不虽然公司都差不多,但也会有轻微的好坏之分,拿每个公司自己的价格和自己的价值相比,以此来判断是否高估或者低估不是更合理么?还有就是,题目应该不会出一个比率高,一个比率低这样的吧?
