Here are the key ratio for Safeskin: 5 Yr. Range Current P/E 9 - 47 43 Price to Book 3.6 - 19.4 17.8 Price to Cash Flow 6.7 - 40.2 36.8 Price to Sales 1 - 9.5 8.71 Return on Equity 24% - 58.9% 36.4% Can they keep going like this ? Very possible. There are enough expensive stocks out there which keep getting more expensive. Is SFSK it an enticing story ? Clearly yes. Is is safe to buy a stock at the upper limit of such wide valuation ranges ? Everybody has to decide him/herself. A stock split does not help the valuation situation and unfortunately I have suffered myself through situations where the stock went South in the weeks and months AFTER the split.
