Why We're Not Concerned About Aurionpro Solutions Limited's (NSE:AURIONPRO) Share Price

With a price-to-earnings (or "P/E") ratio of 33.2x Aurionpro Solutions Limited (NSE:AURIONPRO) may be sending bearish signals at the moment, given that almost half of all companies in India have P/E ratios under 27x and even P/E's lower than 15x are not unusual. Although, it's not wise to just take the P/E at face value as there may be an explanation why it's as high as it is.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

There hasn't been much to differentiate Aurionpro Solutions' and the market's earnings growth lately. One possibility is that the P/E is high because investors think this modest earnings performance will accelerate. If not, then existing shareholders may be a little nervous about the viability of the share price.

Does Growth Match The High P/E?

Aurionpro Solutions' P/E ratio would be typical for a company that's expected to deliver solid growth, and importantly, perform better than the market.

If we review the last year of earnings growth, the company posted a worthy increase of 13%. Pleasingly, EPS has also lifted 106% in aggregate from three years ago, partly thanks to the last 12 months of growth. Therefore, it's fair to say the earnings growth recently has been superb for the company.

Looking ahead now, EPS is anticipated to climb by 29% during the coming year according to the one analyst following the company. That's shaping up to be materially higher than the 25% growth forecast for the broader market.

With this information, we can see why Aurionpro Solutions is trading at such a high P/E compared to the market. Apparently shareholders aren't keen to offload something that is potentially eyeing a more prosperous future.
