How to Value Companies in the Oil & Gas Marketing Sector
Asset-heavy. Plant-intensive businesses whose book value is mostly tangible assets. The Graham Number (earnings and book value together) and P/E against the sector median suit them; cyclical earnings make long DCF projections unreliable.
Graham Number
√(22.5 × EPS × book value per share): a quick ceiling price for steady, profitable companies.
P/E-relative
EPS × the sector's typical P/E: what the company would be worth if the market priced it like its peers.
