With a price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 8.1x Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSE:DPM) may be sending bullish signals at the moment, given that almost half of all companies in Canada have P/E ratios greater than 15x and even P/E’s higher than 31x are not unusual. However, the P/E might be low for a reason and it requires further investigation to determine if it’s justified.
While the market has experienced earnings growth lately, Dundee Precious Metals’ earnings have gone into reverse gear, which is not great. The P/E is probably low because investors think this poor earnings performance isn’t going to get any better. If you still like the company, you’d be hoping this isn’t the case so that you could potentially pick up some stock while it’s out of favour.
