What Is Notorious Pictures Worth?

The share price seems sensible at the moment according to our price multiple model, where we compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, we’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. We find that Notorious Pictures’s ratio of 5.03x is trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 5.03x, which means if you buy Notorious Pictures today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe Notorious Pictures should be trading in this range, then there isn’t much room for the share price to grow beyond the levels of other industry peers over the long-term. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Notorious Pictures’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What does the future of Notorious Pictures look like?
