If you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we now have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company: High price Low price EPS Year 1 $62.18 40.30 2.35 Year 2 $67.29 a. High target stock price b. Low target stock price 43.18 2.58 Year 3 $74.18 39.27 2.73 Year 4 $78.27 46.21 2.89 Earnings are projected to grow at 9 percent over the next year. a. What is your high target stock price over the next year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is your low target stock price over the next year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
