What is BF-A's fair price?
Two classic value formulas, with today's numbers. The current price is $26.79.
- Graham's fair price
- —
- BF-A's earnings per share and book value per share are not available, so the formula cannot be computed.
Benjamin Graham paid no more than a P/E of 15 and a P/B of 1.5. Their product, 22.5, times earnings (EPS) and book value per share gives the fair price.
- Bazin's ceiling price
- $16.93

$1.02 (5-year average) ÷ 6%
Décio Bazin only bought stocks yielding at least 6% a year in distributions. The ceiling price is the average dividend per share of recent years over 6%.
Graham ignores growth and debt; Bazin assumes past distributions repeat. They are references to compare, not a buy recommendation.
