Cornerstone Total Return Fund Valuation

No matter how good a company is, if the price that you pay to buy it is too high, you won't make much money. These valuation metrics should give you a sense of reasonable prices, but be careful with them. Always seek to understand why a valuation is changing over time.

Price Multiples

Price Multiples show how much you get for the price you pay. They can fluctuate drastically over time. Looking at price multiples over time and comparing to those of competitors will help to triangulate a reasonable valuation.

Price to Sales Ratio

Tells you how much you are paying for one dollar of sales.

Price to Earnings Ratio

Tells you how much you are paying for one dollar of earnings.

Price to Book

Tells you how much you are paying for one dollar of net assets (net assets is total assets - total liabilities).

Enterprise Valuation

Enterprise Value (EV) multiples tell you what you would get if you were to buy the whole company (including paying off all debt). Similar to price multiples, they can be compared across time and with peers.

EV / EBITDA Pro

Tells you how much you pay for one dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization if you were buying the whole company.

EV / Revenue Pro

Tells you how much you pay for one dollar of sales if you were buying the whole company.

EV / EBIT Pro

Tells you how much you pay for one dollar of earnings before interest and taxes if you were buying the whole company.

EV / Free Cash Flow Pro

Tells how much you are paying for one dollar of current free cash flow if you were buying the whole company.

$CRF finally getting crushed today. Reminds me of last year when it went from $24.75 / 99% premium to $5.50 / 26% discount in 7 weeks.

$CRF trading at a 90%+ premium to NAV once again. Is this the most over-valued closed end fund of all time or what?
about 943 days ago by derekbobbe
Closed End Fund $CRF continues to defy all logic with a premium of 86%. I predict a steep slide after it goes ex-dividend on 10/13.

Closed End Fund $CRF the most inefficiently over-valued name I've ever seen. Trades at 83% premium, holds $SPX. Can't find inventory. :(
