Question
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 now 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:
High price.
Low price
EPS
Year 1
$ 90.83
71.75
6.64
Year 2 Year 3
$129.19
$107.05
a. High target price
b. Low target price
87.49
9.06
74.69
8.72
Year 4
$140.50
115.58
10.31
Earnings are expected to grow at 7.5 percent over the next year.
