A firm just reported its earning as 100 Million dollar. The firm has 10 Million shares. The stock price is $150 per share. What is forward PE ratio if the growth rate is 4%.
Forward P/E ratio = Current Stock price / Estimated future earing per share
Where,
Current Stock price = $150 per share
Estimated future earing per share = current earning per share *(1+growth rate)
Current earning per share = reported earnings /Number of shares
= $100 million /10 million = $10 per share
Therefore,
Estimated future earing per share = 10 * (1+4%) = $10.4
And
Forward P/E ratio = $150 / $10.4 = 14.42
Therefore forward PE ratio is 14.42
