TriPoint Global Research Announces Investment Opinion on Peoples Educational Holdings, Inc.

2009-11-19 19:29:07 -

TriPoint Global Research Senior Analyst Sally Wallick, CFA, believes that Peoples Educational Holdings' (Nasdaq: PEDH) established product lines, its Q4 FY09 entrance into the literacy market, its robust product development, and sales/marketing capabilities represent a solid platform for future growth. Although the 12-month target for Peoples Educational Holdings of $2.75 per share represents a 91% increase relative to the Company's

current share price, this target is based on relatively modest expectations on a number of measures compared with education industry averages. For example, Peoples Educational Holdings' current price-to-EBITDA and enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiples are 0.9 times and 2.4 times, respectively, while the target is based on projected price-to-EBITDA and enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple expansion to 1.8 times and of 3.3 times, respectively. Both of these projected multiples are well below current price-to-EBITDA and enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiples for 18 other leading education companies of approximately 11 times and 10 times, respectively.
