c. Price/Sales (P/S) (Trailing 12 months)

d. Price/Book (P/B)

e. Enterprise Value/EBITDA

Trailing P/E 29 16 Overvalued Forward P/E 25 14 Overvalued Price/Sales 7 9 Undervalued Price/Book 38 30 Overvalued EV/EBITDA 21 15 Overvalued

3. Based on consensus of these metrics, do you believe your stock is: a. Overvalued? b. Undervalued? c. Fairly Valued?
