It Is Time to Identify True Value and Growth Stocks Rather than High and Low P/Bs

By Aki Matsumoto

  • If a company with P/B less than 1 conducts share buyback, its P/B will decrease; if a company with P/B greater than 1 conducts share buyback, its P/B will increase.
  • A company with P/B below 1x can be a great value stock if it can demonstrate to investors that it will generate ample cash flow, in addition to repurchasing shares.
  • Even if a company’s P/B is well above 1x, it is required to explain to investors whether there are any gaps in its cash flow growth scenario.
