The net profit margin for the last 4 years has been 1.9%

I just did a quick 10 year forecast. Assuming 5% growth in sales from the 2017 annual statement and a constant 1.9% profit margin. Discounted the future sums by 3%, and divided the total by the no shares outstanding getting a $5.82 price.

This was just a quick analysis and doesn't take into account the effect of compounded returns a shareholder would enjoy if he held the stock for 10 years.

But 10 years is  a long time for your investment to be paid back, especially for a stock like the reject shop which isnt exactly blue chip.

However, if TRS can maintain a 3% profit margin, then the present value of the stock based on 10 years earning is $9.19, which would make TRS about 40% undervalued. Plus with the compounded effect of dividends, it would be worth a lot more. The half yearly net profit margin was 4%, which would give it a present value of $12.25. S0 I can understand why one would buy at this price, but at the same time I can understand why many people are hitting the sell button.

I might set a buy order at 5.50
