Attractive PE for Trinidad stocks

Massy Group gained 25 cents to end the week at a new 52 weeks high of $69.25 but there was little change in the 100 percent potential gains that lie ahead, Republic Bank moved to a new 52 weeks high at $122 which barely dented the 40 percent potential gains ahead.
Scotiabank fell to new 52 weeks low, to end at $69 but is not currently a buy and investors seem right to take some profit at this time. Flavorite became slightly less overvalued by slipping sharply to $5.75 by week end. Elsewhere not mush change took place but the Trinidad market has several stocks that are priced at a PE that are well below the market average, offering investors good potential gains in the months ahead.
The market has 6 stocks that are priced at a PEs that are well below the market’s average of 15, and a few close to the average, thus offering profitable investment opportunities for investors with medium term investment horizon.
The price earnings ratio is the most popular measure investors use to compare and determine stocks values. It is computed by dividing the price of a stock by the earnings per share. It allows investors to compare the value of one company with others in order to decide which ones are to be bought sold or held on to. When the market moves markedly away from the norm it is usually time for investors to move. Nowhere is this truer than PE ratios.
In looking at good buying opportunities the crude measure is to buy those stocks with low PEs compared to the market or to stocks in the same sector.
