Dear John,
Earning yield is 12.5%. the average PE for similar company is 9.5.
Ans: The share in the company is under-valued is the true statement.
How do we arrive? Can you please show me the arithmetic?
Thanks,
Salauddin

PE ratio = 1/(earnings yield) = 1/0.125 = 8 (for this company).
Since the MV value of this company is only 8 times the earnings, whereas for similar companies it is higher at 9.5 time the earnings, it suggests that this company is under-valued.
