I have recieved a few questions from members lately with regards to what stocks have low PE's.

The following are my pick of the bunch:

AZC - Aus Zircon.
Has recently began mining and yet SP has continued to slide downwards. Forecast EPS of 4 - 6 cps before any production ramp ups put this at a PE of 4

IRL - India Resources
Has also just begun mining, Copper concentrate out of the Surda mine in India. Depending on how well production goes and how quickly the ramp it up to full capacity its PE on the surda mine alone is between 2 - 5. Plus holds other investments and lots of exploration targets.

RRT - Record Realty Trust
Not a miner but a low PE of 3 and a div yeild of about 11%. Current price 61c with NTA per share of around $1.10. Something doesnt add up, but this will probably be my next buy when i get some cash.

FDY - Findlay Securities
Again, not a miner, but a current PE of 4. The more market turnover there is, the more these guys make, simple as that. Illiquid though, which seems to hurt it at the moment. Once profit anns come through this should change


For more detailed info i suggest you read through each stocks thread.


And putting my mod hat on:
I am doing this to help others out and you are more than welcome to comment or add your own low PE stocks, but lets not turn this into a ramping thread. Stocks posted without analysis will be removed.

Enjoy!

Last time I checked, their dividends are generally generated by refinancing their properties, and, in the current climate... good luck is all I can say. :2twocents

From one of their last anns:
Further, only four of the forty assets representing 5.4% of the
total asset level debt, have debt that will expire on or before April 2010.

It is a complex business structure, but what i gathered is their divs are generated from selling assets. Perhaps they meant selling from one loan to another :confused: Now i know this isnt good policy, but with such a large SP vs NTA difference i think there is upside here.
 
at the risk of getting bumped because there is minimal research behind these
but with discussion about low PE stocks in ZFX thread I did a search for low PE stocks with reasonably good capitalisation (> $100m) and these came up

posted here for people to do their own research to sort the wheat from the chaff (I know everone always does their own research don't they - so that was a bit redundant - wasn't it!!)

a start - no idea how much of producers they

IPM - Incremental Petroleum Limited

Oil producer and developer, gas developer. Currently trading at a PER of 6.9 (based on last financial year). Has a 50% dividend pay out policy. Also developing gas prospects in northern Turkey with OEL (self funded from memory).

Disclosure I own this and have just recently topped up.

A quick glance at the 2007 financials for RRT show they have been using the same ponzi financing scam as the likes of centro. $1.9 billion in debt vs $420m in equity, I wouldn't put much faith in their ability to generate high payout ratios going forward. 5.4% of almost $2 billion is still a lot to refinance and I doubt they will get as favourable terms as they have in the past.
 
And the 2 lines you've written on each of these stocks constitutes analysis? Do we need mods to moderate the mods?

He didn't say detailed analysis, but rather I believe he wants some form of description about the stock, a rough piece..

Although, listing TMR seems a little iffy :p:
Thread isn't 'stocks that may become low PE' :D

I agree, "but once new copper mine comes online this year (hopefully)" is hardly analysis... So let's say people who put up a stock name and nothing else will be bumped, yea ?
 
The reason i put 'hopefully' for TMR is the fact that nearly every mining project runs behind schedule. I have also stated that people are free to go over to each stocks thread and discuss there or find more detailed info :)

And in hindsight it probably doesnt fit perfectly under this title so i have now removed it...
 
Crown (CWN) has a very low PE at the moment due to recent SP weakness... fair enough it is going to have to generate a lot of its future growth through acquisitions, but it does seem mighty cheap for a quality large cap...

people will still gamble even through recessions and it has very strong and stable cashflows... just a thought...
