- If you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company: High price Low price EPS Year 1 $ 62.18 40.30 2.35 a. High target price b. Low target price Year 2 $ 67.29 43.18 2.58 Year 3 $74.18 39.27 2.73 Year 4 $ 78.27 46.21 2.89 Earnings are expected to grow at 9 percent over the next year. a.
