Over the next year, it also anticipates issuing an additional 120,000 shares of stock so that 1 year from now it will have 520,000 shares of common stock. Assuming Ferrell's price/earnings ratio remains at its current level, what will be its stock price 1 year from now? Do not round intermediate calculations.
Round your answer to the nearest cent.
- Current net income= $6 million
- Current Earnings per share(EPS) =Current Net Income/Current No of shares outstanding
Current Earnings per share(EPS) = $6 million/400,000 shares
Current Earnings per share(EPS) = $15 per share
- Current P/E ratio = Current share price/Current EPS
Current P/E ratio = $25/$15
Current P/E ratio = 1.6667 times
- Now, Expected net income in next year = $9.9 million
No of shares outstanding in next year = 520,000
Expected Earnings per share(EPS) =Net Income/No of shares outstanding
EPS = $9.9 million/520,000
EPS = $19.0385
P/E ratio is expected to reamin same in next year.
Exepcted Share price in next year = P/E ratio*EPS
Exepcted Share price in next year = 1.6667*$19.0385
Exepcted Share price in next year = $31.73
So, stock price 1 year from nowis $31.73
