Don,
I just checked Market Guide,here is RATIO COMPARISON by 2/12/1999
CUBE $21 13/16
......................CUBE ......... INDUSTRY ...........SECTOR P/E...................19.44...........30.93.............47.73 PRICE/SALES...........2.48............3.18..............10.28 PRICE/BOOK............3.71............6.18...............12.52 PRICE TO TANGIBLE BOOK4.13............7.45...............13.68
ON above ration, the biggest difference is between PRICE/SALES for CUBE 2.48 and for SECTOR 10.28
SHOULD be PRICE/SALES for CUBE adjusted to same as that for the SECTOR CUBE = $21 13/16 x(10.28/2.48)
= $90.40;
ON above ration,the smallest difference is between PRICE/SALES for CUBE 2.48 and for INDUSTRY 3.18.
should be PRICE/SALES for CUBE adjusted to same as that for the SECTOR CUBE=$21 13/16 x(3.18/2.48)=$27.97
SO CUBE at a price between $27.97 to $90.40 is fair.
From P/E, should be P/E for CUBE adjusted to the smallest P/E among SECTOR and INDUSTRY
CUBE=$21 13/16 x(30.93/19.44)=$34.70
so CUBE at price around $34.70 between $27.97 to $90.40 is a good answer.
Check CUBE last five years QUOTO, CUBE falling several times mainly due to the PANIC in Chinese VCD market, now with DIVICOM generate more than half revenue, the VCD portion becomes less important, which explains why CUBE only stayed below $20 for 1 day this time. With DVD heating up, CUBE valuation will surpass the industry and sector average soon, so in long term, seeing CUBE above $100(without split) is not a dream.
Best Regards, Wisdom
