The goal of this article is to teach you how to use price to earnings ratios (P/E ratios). Well look at Level Biotechnology Inc.s (GTSM:3118) P/E ratio and reflect on what it tells us about the companys share price. Level Biotechnology has a P/E ratio of 14.93, based on the last twelve months. That is equivalent to an earnings yield of about 6.7%.

See our latest analysis for Level Biotechnology

The formula for price to earnings is:

Price to Earnings Ratio = Share Price Earnings per Share (EPS)

Or for Level Biotechnology:

P/E of 14.93 = NT$21.800 NT$1.460 (Based on the year to December 2019.)

(Note: the above calculation results may not be precise due to rounding.)

The higher the P/E ratio, the higher the price tag of a business, relative to its trailing earnings. That isnt necessarily good or bad, but a high P/E implies relatively high expectations of what a company can achieve in the future.

One good way to get a quick read on what market participants expect of a company is to look at its P/E ratio. As you can see below Level Biotechnology has a P/E ratio that is fairly close for the average for the healthcare industry, which is 14.4.

Level Biotechnologys P/E tells us that market participants think its prospects are roughly in line with its industry. If the company has better than average prospects, then the market might be underestimating it. Further research into factors such as insider buying and selling, could help you form your own view on whether that is likely.

Companies that shrink earnings per share quickly will rapidly decrease the E in the equation. That means even if the current P/E is low, it will increase over time if the share price stays flat. Then, a higher P/E might scare off shareholders, pushing the share price down.

Most would be impressed by Level Biotechnology earnings growth of 22% in the last year. In contrast, EPS has decreased by 9.2%, annually, over 5 years.

Its important to note that the P/E ratio considers the market capitalization, not the enterprise value. In other words, it does not consider any debt or cash that the company may have on the balance sheet. In theory, a company can lower its future P/E ratio by using cash or debt to invest in growth.

Such expenditure might be good or bad, in the long term, but the point here is that the balance sheet is not reflected by this ratio.

Level Biotechnology has net cash of NT$344m. This is fairly high at 46% of its market capitalization. That might mean balance sheet strength is important to the business, but should also help push the P/E a bit higher than it would otherwise be.

Level Biotechnologys P/E is 14.9 which is above average (12.9) in its market. With cash in the bank the company has plenty of growth options and it is already on the right track. So it is not surprising the market is probably extrapolating recent growth well into the future, reflected in the relatively high P/E ratio.

Investors should be looking to buy stocks that the market is wrong about. If the reality for a company is better than it expects, you can make money by buying and holding for the long term. We dont have analyst forecasts, but you might want to assess this data-rich visualization of earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Of course you might be able to find a better stock than Level Biotechnology. So you may wish to see this free collection of other companies that have grown earnings strongly.

PDS Biotechnology Announces Resignation of Andrew Saik as CFO - Associated Press

Vir Biotechnology, a San Francisco-based biotechnology firm, said Wednesday that laboratory testing showed two of its antibody drugs appeared to neutralize the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 and that it would pursue testing them in people.

The company said that human tests of the drugs could begin in three to five months, putting it roughly in line with two other efforts to produce anti-coronavirus antibodies. Regeneron, based in Tarrytown, N.Y., has said that its antibodies could enter trials by early summer and that its treatment, if it proves effective, could be available for some uses in the fall. Eli Lilly, which is developing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies with AbCellera, a Vancouver biotech, has said it hopes to begin human tests in four months.

Stopping this disease will take a combination of prevention and treatment approaches, Vir CEO George Scangos said in a statement. At Vir, we are fortunate that our existing antibody platform gave us a running start against COVID-19, and we have the internal and partnered capabilities to work on multiple approaches.

advertisement

Vir is working with the Cambridge, Mass., biotech firm Biogen, where Scangos was previously CEO, and Wuxi Biologics, a China-based manufacturing organization.

Antibodies are a part of the immune system that drug companies have learned to weaponize as treatments for diseases. An antibody drug against SARS-CoV-2 might either treat infection in very sick patients or prevent infection. It is one of many techniques researchers are attempting against Covid-19. For a rundown of approaches, see this story.

advertisement

Vir is taking a somewhat different approach from Regeneron. While Regeneron is going to choose two antibodies to use together, Vir has picked a single antibody. But Vir is modifying it in two different ways and testing the resulting two experimental drugs in parallel.

The first modification should make the antibodies last longer in the body, and is being done to both candidates. The second, in animal models, leads to long-term production of white blood cells that might lead to long-term immunity, as with a vaccine. If this proves effective, the antibody could be used to prevent infection.

Vir said it has also identified other antibodies that work differently, so that they might be combined with the two it is testing. And it is continuing to search for antibodies in the blood or patients who have survived SARS-CoV-2.

Genprex Bolsters Board of Directors, Appoints Three Biotechnology and Healthcare Industry Leaders - BioSpace

ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (AgeX; NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, announced today that ImStem Biotechnology, Inc. (Farmington, CT), a biopharmaceutical company pioneering the development of mesenchymal stem cells (hES-MSC) derived from human embryonic stem cells has received notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it has lifted the hold and cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application to evaluate IMS001 for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). IMS001 was derived from the pluripotential cell line designated ESI-053 licensed from AgeX.

Since pluripotent stem cells are capable of differentiating into all human cell types potentially genetically modified in any manner, they open the door to a wide array of new therapies, stated Dr. Michael D. West, PhD, founder and CEO of AgeX. This collaboration with ImStem is consistent with our aim to make our clinical-grade pluripotent stem cell banks widely available for diverse therapeutic applications.

IMS001 is a formulation of cells derived from AgeX pluripotent stem cells induced to differentiate into mesenchymal cells (hES-MSC) and through a proprietary method using a trophoblast intermediate stage (hence also known as T-MSC) for the treatment of neurological, autoimmune, and rare orphan diseases. IMS001 is an investigational, allogeneic cell product to be administered intravenously to patients suffering from MS. ImStem believes this is the first hES-MSC based allogeneic cell therapy accepted for clinical trial by the FDA. ImStem plans to initiate a phase 1 clinical study in patients with relapsing-remitting, secondary, and primary progressive forms of MS in 2020 in the US.

The clinical-grade pluripotent stem cell lines from AgeX were the first published GMP-compatible lines ever created, said Xiaofang Wang, MD, PhD, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of ImStem. As such, they have been widely distributed in the scientific community and demonstrated to meet the needs of industry for relatively rapid product development.

About AgeX Therapeutics

Massachusetts is located in the northeastern region of the continental United States. Formally known as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the state has a long and storied history as one of America's original thirteen colonies. It was way back in the year 1620 that the first Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth aboard the Mayflower to begin their lives in the New World. Many years later, in 1782, Massachusetts became the sixth state to join the union. All these years later Massachusetts is known as a state which continues to play an integral role in a variety of integral aspects of modern American life especially in regards to the fields of politics, the economy, arts, and culture, as well as national identity.

With a slew of nicknames including the Old Colony State, Baked Bean State, and Puritan State, Massachusetts comprises a total area of 10,565 square miles. The state is currently home to a population of approximately 6,939,373 people and it's capital city, Boston, boosts the highest population rate of any urban center in New England. The leading industries in Massachusetts include biotechnology, maritime trade, engineering, information technology, finance, tourism, as well as higher education.

Biotechnology involves using technological methods in order to modify or alter the biological elements of an organism and/or living system(s). This is done as a means of creating brand new products or processes. Practical examples of biotechnology include the production of various hormones and antibiotics. A number of related scientific disciplines that often work hand in hand with biotechnology include such related fields as biomedical engineering and molecular biology.

Massachusetts' capital city, Boston, is the hub for the biotechnology industry in the state. The city, as well as the neighboring community of Cambridge, are both home to nearly a thousand biotech companies. One of the reasons for this is the large number of universities located in the area. Among the renowned institutes to have facilities in this part of Massachusetts is the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Local biotech companies in Massachusetts include ImmunoGen, Boston Scientific, and Vaxess Technologies.

Massachusetts' coastline on the Atlantic Ocean measures approximately 1,500 miles in length. This is the key reason why the state and many of the people who live there have had a long and illustrious relationship with the sea. For many years marine trade has played a vital part in Massachusetts' domestic economy. Local sports in the state have long enabled Americans to trade with communities in such far-flung parts of the world as China and the Caribbean.

For many years, fishing has been an important industry for those residents living on the Atlantic coast of the state. In the nineteenth century, for example, the New England area benefitted considerably from a boom in whaling activities. During this time whales were hunted for food as well as for the valuable oil they provided. Although saltwater fish stocks have been diminishing over the years due to factors such as overfishing and climate change, a large number of Massachusetts residents still make their living off the ocean and activities such as fishing and the harvesting of lobster and Atlantic horseshoe crabs. Among the valuable fish species to be found in the ocean waters off Massachusetts include haddock, monkfish, Atlantic cod, summer flounder, and black sea bass.

Engineering involves the use of scientific methods in order to design and create various structures such as roadways, buildings, tunnels, and bridges. One of Massachusetts' greatest advantages in terms of its engineering industry expertise is the sheer number of engineering colleges and educational facilities located within the state. An educated and highly specialized workforce is a key element in the state's collective success in the field of engineering. Some of these top-rated institutions in Massachusetts include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, Wentworth Institute of Technology as well as a variety of universities including Harvard, Boston, and Tufts.

Commonly referred to as IT the field of information technology involves using computers in order to acquire, archive, and access data. Figures indicate that the northeastern state is home to about 1,708 organizations connected to information technology. Examples of IT companies operating in Massachusetts include Bloomer Health Tech and the Health Data Analytics Institute.

Financial companies make up an important part of the state's economy. As of 2015, it was estimated that approximately a dozen Fortune 500 companies are located in Massachusetts. In 2014 CNBC listed Massachusetts as the 25th best state in the U.S. for business. Financial companies operating in the state include names such as Fidelity Investments, Liberty Mutual Group, and the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

According to statistics from 2015, Massachusetts ranked sixth in terms of the most popular destinations for tourists traveling to the U.S. from other countries. Besides Boston, the state capital and largest city in the state, other communities popular with international visitors include Plymouth, where the Pilgrims landed, and Salem, site of the infamous witch trials. Other well known local attractions include a variety of historical, cultural, and recreational sites such as "Little Women" author Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House in Concord, the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and Lizzie Borden's house in Fall River.

The state is also home to numerous parks and natural attractions such as the Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord, Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, and Nickerson State Park.

Massachusetts has long been one of the top states in terms of being home to a myriad of educational institutes of higher learning. The state is home to Roxbury Latin School which has the distinction of being the oldest school in continuous operation since it was established in 1645. Massachusetts is also home to the oldest public elementary, high school, and boarding schools as well as the oldest college and women's' college in the nation. The number of higher learning institutions located in Massachusetts totals 121.

Schools of note in Massachusetts include not only Harvard and MIT but also Boston College, Northeastern University, Wellesley College, Amherst College, and the University of Massachusetts.

The patented NuGenerexImmuno-Oncology (Formerly Antigen Express) Ii-Key technology uses synthetic peptides that mimic essential protein regions from a virus that are chemically linked to the 4-amino acid Ii-Key to ensure robust immune system activation. In particular, the Ii-Key ensures potent activation of CD4+ T cells, which in turn facilitates antibody production to ward off infection. This Ii-Key modification can be applied to any protein fragment of any pathogen to increase the potency of immune stimulation. Generex is working with our partners at EpiVax who have identified such protein fragments or epitopes to generate Ii-Key-SARS 2 peptide vaccines in collaboration with our peptide manufacturing partners. The peptides and Ii-Key are made from naturally occurring amino acids, ensuring an excellent safety profile for Ii-Key peptide vaccines.

Generex President & CEO Joseph Moscato said, Generex wants to let everyone know that we are ready and willing to partner on our coronavirus vaccine development program with government health agencies across the globe. Based on our discussions with numerous people throughout the U.S. government and international health agencies, it is clear that additional information is needed by the authorities about the potential to rapidly create a vaccine using our Ii-Key technology to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Generex has long standing experience developing Ii-Key peptide vaccines for infectious diseases and cancer, so wehave developeda strategy to design, screen and identify vaccine peptides to any novel pathogenic virus to initiate human clinical trials in 3 to 5 months depending on regulatory agency requirements.We have vaccinated over 300 people with Ii-Key vaccines to demonstrate their safety and their ability to activate the immune response against peptide epitopes. As a public service to expedite the review of the Ii-Key vaccine technology by interested parties, we are providing a summary of safety on our Ii-Key development program from both published peer-reviewed literature as well as from our clinical investigator brochures on our website at Generex.com.

Mr. Moscato continued, We ask that governments, health ministries, and large pharmaceutical companies please take note of the potential for Ii-Key peptide vaccines to slow the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We are advancing the coronavirus project with our partners in China, and we are available to partner with other countries to develop and commercialize our Ii-Key-SARS-2 vaccine. To date we have been in touch with the VA, BARDA, and HHS in the United States, and we are in communication with the Canadian Ministry of Health, as well as with authorities in Greece, England, Saudi Arabia, Iceland, Indonesia, Philippines, Italy, and Romania for licensing our Ii-Key-SARS-2 peptide vaccines as well as new, patented immunotherapy technology that will provide those countries with co-ownership of the Intellectual Property in their territories. We have engaged Morris L. Reid of Mercury LLC (http://mercuryllc.com) to advise the company on international licensing strategy.

Defeating coronavirus requires a public/private partnership, stated Mr. Reid, Partner at Mercury. Government cannot do it alone and must collaborate with the private sector in order to bring the best innovation to the table.

Mr. Moscatoadded his thoughts on peptide vaccines, stating, We know one thing about vaccines and the immune response, and that is our immune system recognizes antigenic epitopes, which are made of amino acid peptides, and mounts a multicellular response to protect the body from invaders like viruses or cancer. Whether you use attenuated or killed viruses or recombinant proteins, peptides are and have been the primary pathway to create vaccines. Peptide vaccines, especially when linked with the Ii-Key, are proven to generate an immune response, and we have demonstrated the safety of various Ii-Key peptide vaccines in animal models and human clinical trials. Over the years, Generex has developed a proven process to generate rapid peptide vaccines using the latest computational algorithms to select the best peptides to create an immune response, and we can link these peptide epitopes to the Ii-key for a very powerful solution that is cost effective and easy to manufacture on a large scale. Every country in the world needs our Ii-key technology in their national health arsenal not only for this coronavirus, but also to respond to future SARS virus mutations and other potential pandemic viruses that have been on the rise the last 20 years.
