1. Earnings per share (EPS)
This is the amount each share
would get if a company paid out all of its profit to its shareholders. EPS is calculated by dividing the company’s total profit by the number of shares.

Example – If a company’s profit is $200 million and there are 10 million shares, the EPS is $20.

EPS can tell you how companies in the same industry compare. Companies that show steady, consistent earnings
growth, year after year, will often outperform companies with volatile earnings over time.

2. Price to earnings (P/E) ratio
This measures the relationship between the earnings of a company and its stock
price. It’s calculated by dividing the current price per share of a company’s stock by the company’s earnings per share.

Example – A company’s stock currently sells for $50 per share and its earnings per share
are $5. That means it has a P/E ratio of 10 ($50 divided by $5).

The P/E ratio can tell you whether a stock’s price is high, or low, compared to its earnings.

Some investors consider a company with a high P/E to be overpriced. But sometimes a company with a high P/E today may offer higher returns, and a better P/E, in the future. How do you know? You’ll likely have to look at other indicators before you decide.

3. Price to earnings ratio to growth ratio (PEG)
This helps you understand the P/E ratio a little better. It’s calculated by dividing the P/E ratio by the company’s projected growth
in earnings.

Example – A stock with a P/E of 30 and projected earnings growth next year of 15% would have a PEG of 2 (30 divided by 15). A stock with a P/E of 30 but projected earnings growth of 30% will have PEG of 1 (30 divided by 30).

The PEG can tell you whether a stock may or may not be a good value. The lower the number, the less you have to pay to get in on the company’s expected future earnings growth.

4. Price to book value ratio (P/B)
This compares the value the market puts on a company with the value the company has stated in its financial books. It’s calculated by dividing the current price per share by the book value per share. The book value is the current equity of a company, as listed in the annual report.

Most of the time, the lower the P/B is, the better. That’s because you’re paying less for more book value.

If you’re looking for a well-priced stock with reasonable growth potential, you may want to use a low P/B as a tool to identify possible stock picks.

5. Dividend payout ratio (DPR)
This measures what a company pays out to investors in dividends compared to what the stock is earning. It’s calculated by dividing the annual dividends per share by the EPS.

Example – If a company paid out $1 per share in dividends and had an EPS of $3, the DPR would be 33% (1 divided by 3).

The DPR can give you an idea of how well a company’s earnings support the dividend payments. More mature companies will typically have a higher DPR. They believe that paying more in dividends is the best use of their profits for the firm and its shareholders. Since growing companies are likely to have less or no earnings to pay out dividends, their DPR would tend to be low or zero.

6. Dividend yield
This measures the return on a dividend as a percentage of the stock price. It’s calculated by dividing the annual dividend
per share by the price per share.

Example – 2 stocks each pay an annual dividend of $1 per share. Company A’s stock is trading at $40 a share, but Company B’s stock is trading at $20 a share. Company A has a dividend yield
of 2.5% (1 divided by 40), while Company B’s is 5% (1 divided by 20).

The dividend yield
can tell you how much cash flow
you’re getting for your money, all other things being equal.

CAUTION
Indicators can help you assess the value of a stock and its growth potential. But there are many other factors affecting stock prices that can’t be easily measured.

other factors
Company news and performance
Here are some company-specific factors that can affect the share price:

news releases on earnings and profits, and future estimated earnings
announcement of dividends
introduction of a new product or a product recall
securing a new large contract
employee layoffs
anticipated takeover or merger
a change of management
accounting errors or scandals
Industry performance
Often, the stock price of the companies in the same industry will move in tandem with each other. This is because market conditions generally affect the companies in the same industry the same way. But sometimes, the stock price of a company will benefit from a piece of bad news for its competitor if the companies are competing for the same market.

Investor sentiment
Investor sentiment or confidence can cause the market to go up or down, which can cause stock prices to rise or fall. The general direction that the stock market takes can affect the value of a stock:

bull market – a strong stock market where stock prices are rising and investor confidence is growing. It’s often tied to economic recovery or an economic boom, as well as investor optimism.
bear market
– a weak market where stock
prices are falling and investor confidence is fading. It often happens when an economy is in recession and unemployment is high, with rising prices.
Economic factors
1. Interest rates
The Bank of Canada can raise or lower interest rates to stabilize or stimulate the Canadian economy. This is known as monetary policy. If a company borrows money to expand and improve its business, higher interest rates will affect the cost of its debt
. This can reduce company profits
and the dividends it pays shareholders. As a result, its share
price may drop. And, in times of higher interest rates, investments that pay interest tend to be more attractive to investors than stocks.

2. Economic outlook
If it looks like the economy is going to expand, stock prices may rise. Investors may buy more stocks thinking they will see future profits and higher stock prices. If the economic outlook is uncertain, investors may reduce their buying or start selling.

3. Inflation
Inflation
means higher consumer prices. This often slows sales and reduces profits. Higher prices will also often lead to higher interest rates. For example, the Bank of Canada may raise interest rates to slow down inflation. These changes will tend to bring down stock prices. Commodities however, may do better with inflation, so their prices may rise.

4. Deflation
Falling prices tend to mean lower profits for companies and decreased economic activity. Stock prices may go down, and investors may start selling their shares and move to fixed-income investments like bonds. Interest rates may be lowered to encourage people to borrow more. The goal is increased spending and economic activity. The Great Depression (1929-1939) was one of the worst periods of deflation
ever.

5. Economic and political shocks
Changes around the world can affect both the economy and stock prices. For example, a rise in energy costs can lead to lower sales, lower profits and lower stock prices. An act of terrorism can also lead to a downturn in economic activity and a fall in stock prices.

6. Changes in economic policy
If a new government comes into power, it may decide to make new policies. Sometimes these changes can be seen as good for business, and sometimes not. They may lead to changes in inflation and interest rates, which in turn may affect stock prices.

7. The value of the Canadian dollar
Many Canadian companies sell products to buyers in other countries. If the Canadian dollar rises, their customers will have to spend more to buy Canadian goods. This can drive down sales, which in turn can lead to lower stock prices. When the price of the Canadian dollar falls, it makes it cheaper for others to buy our products. This can make stock prices rise.

KEY POINT
Stock prices can be affected by:

company news and performance
industry performance
investor sentiment
economic factors

Absentee Candidate of APC in Kwara

In 2011, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq was ABSENT during campaign flag off when he contested for governorship under the CPC.

In 2015, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq was ABSENT during campaign flag off when he contested as Senator in under the PDP.

Fast-forward to today, 13th December, 2018, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq is ABSENT AGAIN. This is singular reason why the APC Campaign flag-off in Baruten was cancelled.

Our candidate is in Abidjan for his private business.

This is a familiar pattern of Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq and that's why he's always called an absentee candidate.

Anyone that knows Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq well enough would tell you that he's an 'unavailable guy'.

KWARA, SHINE YOUR EYES!
