I'm not too sure .... do u have any idea what PE the co trades at ... I think its >100 . The co was established in Jan 2006 by the way, and its Rs 10 share is already over 1000 ! (Correct me pl, if any of these figs are wrong) . Or does anyone have any idea (even remotely) of the co's financial projections ?
AGILENT
On trailing EPS basis, the company is trading at a PE ratio of approx. 75.
The company has managed to grow both its topline and bottomline quite impressively and its management of operating ratio in last two financial years is quite impressive (though I feel that there may be a bit of financial jugglery involved due to proposed IPO, compare the employee cost which should normally have risen as the company is operating into Infrastructure,mining and real estate business which are highly labour-intensive.)
Despite all these factors, the investment is very risky as the company's customer base is very small and hence the operations of the company will be highly affected by any negative issue in its client's industry as well as growth prospects of the country.
Also, check the PE ratio of the peer group and you can see the irrational exuberance. Basically, the company's share price is driven by day trading. The delivery volume was just 13% of the total volume traded today.
Comparision of initial volume vs. recent volume will throw more light on the issue.
In any case, in the business of trading charts rule and hence a trader can go long after a pull back in case the peak prior to pull back is violated. Though the probability of such an incidence is very low given the sharp run up in the counter.
