Mobarakeh Steel Co. released its next year budget. The company’s EPS for next year has been declined by 11 percent to 450 IRR compared with current year budget. There are not much differences between this year and next year budgets and the margin return remained unchanged. It must be noted that the company has considered 35,000 IRR for the US exchange rate which is a reasonable rate for a company with more export than raw materials import. 1 to 3 percent rise in rate of sale was taken optimistically. In general, we could say that the company released a very conservative forecasted report for the next year. Despite of any changes in rate of products, the company has nothing more to offer. By considering today’s share price (1,970 IRR) and next year forecasted EPS, the share is currently trading with 3.6 p/e which is not a good sign. The market which gives such low p/e ratios to its big cap companies has no liquidity and confidence.
