Geodrill Limited’s (TSE:GEO) price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 6.9x might make it look like a buy right now compared to the market in Canada, where around half of the companies have P/E ratios above 14x and even P/E’s above 28x are quite common. Nonetheless, we’d need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the reduced P/E.
As an illustration, earnings have deteriorated at Geodrill over the last year, which is not ideal at all. One possibility is that the P/E is low because investors think the company won’t do enough to avoid underperforming the broader market in the near future. However, if this doesn’t eventuate then existing shareholders may be feeling optimistic about the future direction of the share price.
