Tracker newsletter adds PE analysis

We have been tracking the stocks of Asian listed B2B media companies since 2001. Today, we added to our Asian Business Media Tracker service a new feature; a weekly report on PE ratios of the companies listed in Asia which we follow.

This is published in the subscriber version of our weekly newsletter. A free version of the newsletter, without the PE tables and many other important features, can be obtained with a sign-up form on our website (at the bottom of the Tracker page....yes, it needs a clearer link....work in progress).

Results of the first week's analysis show that the highest PE of the companies we track is Info Communication (the parent company of Paper Communication Exhibitions) at 137.3. This makes 5th placed Alibaba look quite modest at a mere 66.3. The 'cheapest' stock in our table is Tokyo-listed Xinhua Finance at a bargain 3.1.

Of the 23 stocks we track, 9 have no real PE as they are loss-making.
