With a price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 38.7x Shanghai Lingyun Industries Development Co., Ltd (SHSE:900957) may be sending bearish signals at the moment, given that almost half of all companies in China have P/E ratios under 34x and even P/E’s lower than 20x are not unusual. Nonetheless, we’d need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the elevated P/E.
For instance, Shanghai Lingyun Industries Development’s receding earnings in recent times would have to be some food for thought. It might be that many expect the company to still outplay most other companies over the coming period, which has kept the P/E from collapsing. You’d really hope so, otherwise you’re paying a pretty hefty price for no particular reason.
