Q: Good morning
What is ATD's average Historical P/E ratio, say for the past 5 or 10 years?
What is the High and Low Historical P/E ratio, the range, during that time period?
Dividing ATD's current stock price of $69 by their reported net income per share of $2.72 yields a Historical P/E ratio of 25.4.
Am I doing what seems like a simple calculation correctly?
I ask because I am seeing a Future P/E ratio for ATD in the financial press of 17.3, which implies a large increase in net income compared with their last fiscal year, a decline in stock price, or some combination of the two,
How should one interpret this dramatic change in Future vs Historical P/E for ATD?
And finally, what is 5i's view on how expensive ATD's price is currently, compared with past history? Does 5i support accumulating ATD shares at this point?
Thank you.
