Table 1: Ratio Analysis – Cisco, CVS, R.R., Manor, S&P 500 Stock(year 2000E) | B/M ratios | P/E ratios | EPS | LT EPS Growth Rate |
Symbolically, P = [m (D+E/3)] Where P is the market price, M is the multiplier, D is dividend per share, E is Earnings per share. Drawbacks of the Traditional Approach: As per this approach, there is a direct relationship between P/E ratios and dividend payout ratio. High dividend payout ratio will increase the P/E ratio and low dividend payout ratio will decrease the P/E ratio. This may not always be true. A company’s share prices
