Shanghai Friendess Electronic Technology Corporation Limited’s (SHSE:688188) price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 58.1x might make it look like a strong sell right now compared to the market in China, where around half of the companies have P/E ratios below 31x and even P/E’s below 19x are quite common. However, the P/E might be quite high for a reason and it requires further investigation to determine if it’s justified.
With its earnings growth in positive territory compared to the declining earnings of most other companies, Shanghai Friendess Electronic Technology has been doing quite well of late. The P/E is probably high because investors think the company will continue to navigate the broader market headwinds better than most. You’d really hope so, otherwise you’re paying a pretty hefty price for no particular reason.
