* Low stock price to book value
* Low stock price to earnings (P.E. Price Earnings Ratio)
* Higher than average dividend payout
Low stock price to book value:
To obtain this, divide the total value of a companies assets (as shown on its financial books) by the number of its outstanding shares available. To derive the book value per share, divide this number by the market price of one share of the company's stock.
Low stock price to earnings (P.E. Ratio):
Divide a company's earnings (from it's financial books) by the total number of outstanding shares to derive its earnings per share. Divide this number into the current price of the stock to calculate the P.E. This ratio gives you an idea of how expensive a stock is in comparison to its current earnings.
For example, if a stock was priced at Rs.100 and had a Rs. worth of earnings per share, then the stock would be trading at 100 times this year's earnings. Companies trading at less than 10 times earnings, may be bargains.
Higher than average dividend payout:
A dividend is any cash a company takes out of its earnings to pay to shareholders. This is usually paid quarterly in the form of a cheque. The dividend payout ration is measured in percentage, and is calculated by Total Dividends issue divided by net income for the same period.
And what is an average percentage payout? Hmmm...that's a relative question, and it depends on the current market environment we are in at the time. 2 to 3% could be considered average.
