Is This The Most “Overvalued” Company in Singapore’s Stock Market?

I ordinarily search for "underestimated" stocks in the business sector. In any case, I needed to take a stab at something other than what's expected before today. I needed to search for the most "exaggerated" stock in the business sector. 

The screening procedure 

In the analysis, I examined the Singapore market for every one of the organizations with high cost to-unmistakable book (PTB) and cost to-profit (PE) proportions. My criteria for "high" was a PTB proportion of more than 10 and a PE of more than 40. 

The outcome 

Strikingly, stand out organization turned out from my pursuit: Q and M Dental Gathering (Singapore) Restricted (SGX: QC7). 

The organization is the biggest private dental gathering in Singapore furthermore has dentistry-related organizations in Malaysia and China. 

Q and M has encountered quick development in the previous decade. Its income has expanded from S$24.4 million in 2006 to S$124.0 million in 2015 – that is a compound yearly development rate of 20%. Its benefit has expanded in comparative design, hopping 13.6% every year from S$3.6 million in 2006 to S$11.4 million in 2015. 

Shockingly, a substantial lump of Q and M's development had been financed with value (the issuance of new shares). This brought about the organization's profit per offer developing by only 5.4% for each annum over the same time frame. It's a respectable development rate, yet much slower contrasted with the organization's income and benefit. 

At this moment, Q and M exchanges at 48 times trailing profit and 62 times substantial book esteem. It likewise offers a 1.4% profit yield. 

Complex Outline :

Have you seen that preceding this section, I have included quotes at whatever point I specified the expressions "underestimated" and "exaggerated," even in the title? This is on account of numerous financial specialists tend to consider underestimated stocks as having low PE and PTB proportions. The same goes for exaggerated stocks; numerous financial specialists think the class is made out of stocks with high PE and/or PTB proportions. 

Nonetheless, it is not generally the situation. A few stocks with high valuation proportions may really be sensibly estimated in connection to their tremendous development potential while a stock with a low valuation that will be bankrupt soon could quite be truly costly. 

Because Q and M is exchanging at high valuations does not mean it is fundamentally exaggerated. By the day's end, as financial specialists, we need to ask ourselves, Is an organization's valuation supported given its past record and its future development potential? 

Things being what they are, is Q and M really exaggerated? That is something for you to reply.
