My calculations for PE are based on
Diluted EPS and
Diluted outstanding shares and
FREE float shares
Diluted EPS
(NPAT -DIVI)÷ D O/S
PE
SP ÷ D EPS
Those formulas are right.
PE is a simple method of valuation.
Price to free cash flow is stronger method of valuation because It looks under the company operating cash flow.
So if you value a stock based on the PE basic you will get to know nothing more about the company.
Do you know how do I calculate the company dilution. It's a bit complex but It is simple when you look at the free float shares.
The lesser the free float shares compared to outstanding shares the more volatility with the stock because you will not know how institutions and hedge fund managers are dumping the stock or accumulating. They could influence the stock price especially at the 10 Q and 10 K quarter ends.
The stronger the free float shares the better price reaction to the market. It's why diluted calculations are in placed.
