Facebook IPO Valuation (Update)





Facebook had updated their IPO price range from $28-$35 per share to $34-$38 per share.

Many articles out there had estimated the PE to be about 100x.

A quick comparison to the 2 most popular tech stocks:
1) Apple: PE (TTM) = 13.5x
2) Google: PE (TTM) = 18.5x

This makes facebook quick overpriced, given that it is still trying to monetize their business model. As stated in the earlier post, it only makes for speculative trading.
