The Market Doesn't Like What It Sees From Allmed Medical Products Co.,Ltd's (SZSE:002950) Earnings Yet As Shares Tumble 26%

The Allmed Medical Products Co.,Ltd (SZSE:002950) share price has fared very poorly over the last month, falling by a substantial 26%. Instead of being rewarded, shareholders who have already held through the last twelve months are now sitting on a 43% share price drop.

Following the heavy fall in price, Allmed Medical ProductsLtd may be sending very bullish signals at the moment with its price-to-earnings (or "P/E") ratio of 12.5x, since almost half of all companies in China have P/E ratios greater than 28x and even P/E's higher than 50x are not unusual. However, the P/E might be quite low for a reason and it requires further investigation to determine if it's justified.

Earnings have risen firmly for Allmed Medical ProductsLtd recently, which is pleasing to see. One possibility is that the P/E is low because investors think this respectable earnings growth might actually underperform the broader market in the near future. If you like the company, you'd be hoping this isn't the case so that you could potentially pick up some stock while it's out of favour.

Does Growth Match The Low P/E?

In order to justify its P/E ratio, Allmed Medical ProductsLtd would need to produce anemic growth that's substantially trailing the market.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered an exceptional 20% gain to the company's bottom line. Still, incredibly EPS has fallen 66% in total from three years ago, which is quite disappointing. Therefore, it's fair to say the earnings growth recently has been undesirable for the company.

Weighing that medium-term earnings trajectory against the broader market's one-year forecast for expansion of 41% shows it's an unpleasant look.

In light of this, it's understandable that Allmed Medical ProductsLtd's P/E would sit below the majority of other companies. However, we think shrinking earnings are unlikely to lead to a stable P/E over the longer term, which could set up shareholders for future disappointment. Even just maintaining these prices could be difficult to achieve as recent earnings trends are already weighing down the shares.

What We Can Learn From Allmed Medical ProductsLtd's P/E?

Allmed Medical ProductsLtd's P/E looks about as weak as its stock price lately. Generally, our preference is to limit the use of the price-to-earnings ratio to establishing what the market thinks about the overall health of a company.

As we suspected, our examination of Allmed Medical ProductsLtd revealed its shrinking earnings over the medium-term are contributing to its low P/E, given the market is set to grow. Right now shareholders are accepting the low P/E as they concede future earnings probably won't provide any pleasant surprises. Unless the recent medium-term conditions improve, they will continue to form a barrier for the share price around these levels.
