Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I see PHO trades at a 2018 fiscal year p/e of 19 ( earnings this year expected to be 10.5 cents mean ) and it has a margin of 10%. QST trades at a p/e for current year of 9 ( 36 cents expected this year) and has a margin of 20%. Granted QST does not have the cash balance per share that PHO has, is this mismatch of values because analysts like tech more than oil service( even though I think QST is a tech company) and PHO may be a buyout target or are there other variables at play?
