Trailing twelve months PE of 39x is well above the industry average of 12x, but forward PE of 11x shows WNC trading at a discount to the industry average of 14x.
The question now for investors is whether Kors can continue that kind of growth in both stock price and earnings, justifying its PE ratio for the trailing 12 months, which currently stands at nearly 40.
So what the heck was I doing buying a stock like Green Mountain in the first place, which had a PE (based on trailing 12 month EPS) a little above 60 when I made my purchase?
