Hi Does any one know what the current market PE is. About 03 months ago it was 23 or thereabouts , must be relatively very low now. This could be an indication when we could see a bottom when compared to rest of the countries. Please advise.

If CARS, BUKI, SPEN, CARG, CHTR & JKH can produce better profits, market PE will go down.
But except CARG & CARS, im not too sure about the rest.

In this research report dated 24th June 2011, Lanka Securities has mentioned that the Market PE Ratio was 15.76.

Definitely market PE ratio should be below 20. As my understanding, CSE website is updated once the companies release the annual report. However, broker firms update every quarter. Many companies still didn't release the annual report. Therefore, market PE ratio should come down once the companies release annual report. Can anyone confirm this one please?

Seems PE ratio has been calculated based on reported EPS. If normalized (removing one time gains) EPS is used, IMHO, PE ratio would be much higher, especially in the BFI sector.

There is truth to that statement but when that report was published ASI was closer 7100 i believe, now it's closer to 6400. PE should be much lower now.

Guys, This is turning out to be a good discussion. If the CSE is saying it is still at 22PE it may be wrong and if so it is still over priced to buy.

But as capital trust has said it is 15 the market is getting very attractive compared to where we were. I really don't know what the other countries are at currently. But any thing below 15 I think there will be foreign participation.

What the SEC will do or brokers will do is beyond our control but getting in to atrractive shares and holding until the tide is gone is within our control. When to enter is totally up to us to analyse.

Reason there was a drop in the PE was last year companies had extraordinary profits in some quarters. Some sold hotels, some sold shares, some revalued the assets, everybody got tax cuts. (there can be exceptions) Check the profits in each quarter and you'll see a sudden jump in a quarters. Sometimes one quarters profit is more than if you add up the other 3 quarters and multiply by 4/3. This will give you a wrong picture in the PE ratio. We have to see how they're going to keep that profits in the next quarters. You don't get tax cuts every year, sell assets every year.

Be vary of broker's forecasted forward PE ratios.

Specially if you see a low PE ratio then check the profits of the last 4 quarters and how they came up with it.
