Preferred P/E of 39.7x: Is it justified? On our numbers, Skyworth Group looks expensive on a P/E of 39.7x, especially when you set that against yesterday’s HK$7.36 close. The P/E ratio compares the current share price with earnings per share and is a quick way to see how much investors are paying for each unit of profit. For a consumer electronics and hardware group like Skyworth, a higher P/E usually implies that the market is paying up for future earnings growth or a perceived improvement in profitability. Here, the current 39.7x multiple sits well above the Hong Kong Consumer Durables industry average of 9.7x, and also above the peer average of 27.6x. At the same time, Skyworth’s own fair P/E, based on the SWS fair ratio work, is estimated at 15.5x. This is a level the multiple could plausibly move towards if expectations cool or earnings catch up.
