K92 Mining Inc.’s (TSE:KNT) price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 42.7x might make it look like a strong sell right now compared to the market in Canada, where around half of the companies have P/E ratios below 13x and even P/E’s below 7x are quite common. Although, it’s not wise to just take the P/E at face value as there may be an explanation why it’s so lofty.
K92 Mining has been struggling lately as its earnings have declined faster than most other companies. One possibility is that the P/E is high because investors think the company will turn things around completely and accelerate past most others in the market. You’d really hope so, otherwise you’re paying a pretty hefty price for no particular reason.
