If you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company. Year 1 $ 62.18 40.30 2.35 a. High target price b. Low target price Year 2 $67.29 43.18 2.58 Year 3- $74.18 39.27 2.73 Year 4 $78.27 46.21 High price Low price EPS Earnings are expected to grow at 9 percent over the next year. 6. What is the high target stock price in one year? 32.16. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.. b. What is the low target stock price in one year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. 2.890

What are some comments that can be made on this?   The stock market crash of 2020 is the largest index point plunge in U.S history. Starting March 9 2020, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index suffered one of three point drops. This is sufficient because stock market indexes are a measure of market sentiment. The most common stock indexes are the Dow Jones industrial average, S and P 500, and the Nasdaq stock market composite. The Dow Jones index is price averages while the s and p 500 and the nasdaq stock market composite are market capitalization weighted. When the Dow Jones drops 20.3% in a matter of days, this meant that there were negative market sentiment factors at play. At the time before this occurrence, the threat of the corona virus had investors worried. There would soon be a shutdown which would cause record unemployment and would significantly decrease purchasing power. This caused investors to move their capital into safer investments. In this case it was the bond…
