Question

Choose a publicly traded company (NOT Disney or Walmart)  and state their stock price per share, earnings per share, beta, and dollar dividend per share. Explain why or why not you would invest in this company.

Answer 1

ANS: For reference I have taken an example of COCA-COLA company

The Financials were taken as on 30/12/2019

Earning per share (EPS) - 2.09

Beta (upto 5 years) - 0.55

Dividend per share (DPS) - 1.93

Stock price - $ 43 per share

Comments

Beta for 5 years is less than 1, it tends to be less volatile than the market; & it also shows a good EPS. so, as per above data, it will per preferable to go for the shares of coca cola.

But, in current scenario due to COVID-19, where market fears by potential global recession & market down drafts, it's not a good time to invest.
