S.A.P.
employs a rating system using Buy, Sell and Neutral recommendations. The
recommendation is for the long-term or 6 months and beyond. For example,
a Buy means that we expect the stock to appreciate by 15% or more over a
1 year horizon, a Sell by –15% or more and a Neutral to neither
appreciate nor depreciate in value beyond market moves. We use a blended
aggregation of metrics versus each company’s peer group to determine
price targets including P/R, P/E, PEG ratio, cash/share and DCF as well
as, when necessary, sum of the parts valuation.
