You must use   the company assigned for you for the project.  (EBAY vs

Your assignment:

Please also note that your answers should be written in your own   words. Don’t use quotes from the articles. 


You are expected to make your own contribution in a main topic   as well as respond with value added comments to at least two of your   classmates as well as to your instructor.


For   this question we will be using P/E ratio.


To   find a company's P/E ratio, use www.morningstar.com , enter the   desired stock symbol to get to the company's front page.  The P/E ratio   is listed on the company's front page.

 

Compare   the P/E ratio of your company with the industry average or with major   competitors.


 Is there a difference between these numbers?


 Is the stock   overvalued, undervalued, or properly valued? Why? 


 In accordance with   your findings, is it reasonable to buy the stock? 


Please   explain your answers.


Reflection – the students also   should include a paragraph in the initial response in their own words   reflecting on specifically what they learned from the assignment and how they   think they could apply what they learned in the workplace.
