As of June 29, 2020, BDO was last traded at 94PHP per share. Its market price is 41.9% lower from its 52 week high. Is this fundamentally cheap and technically time to buy?
Trailing P/E = 9.4 Indicating that for every 1php income last 2019, investors are willing to pay 9.4php.
Trailing PEG Ratio = 0.3, meaning, investors are willing or is paying 9.4php for every peso income last 2019 relative to growth growth rate of 35.4% which is the change of EPS from 2018 to 2019. A PEG ratio of less than 1 is considered undervalued.
Price to Book Value per share (P/B) = 1.1, meaning, the current market price per share is just 1.1 times higher that the real worth of the company as based on their March 2020 financial report. Usually, a P/B of less than 3 is considered undervalued.
Technically, the MACD momentum is in selling signal. RSI also is indicating a continuation of selling. If I’m the investor, I would wait first for a sign of momentum reversal and not enter yet, but fundamentally, this is a good stock to accumulate.
