The stock last traded on the Trinidad Stock Exchange at $13.80 for a PE just below 10 times earnings. IC Insider considers the stock to be undervalued but with the Trinidad’s economy in recession and with the bulk of Guardian business emanating in that country it will be difficult for revenues to rise in a meaningful manner and deliver consistent increased profits.

In 2015, National Commercial Bank agreed subject to regulatory approval acquire just under 30 percent of the issued shares from a group of shareholders.
