Disagree with your long term assessment. As Yoda point out this morning in his post, over a dollar very possible.
If SFIO could earn $10M per year that means that with a P/E of 10 then EPS is $10M/(O/S)=10M/554M=.018 Now P=(PE multiple) * (Earnings/share)=$0.18 per share. So if you think that SFIO can earn $10M annually then a fair price for SFIO is about $0.18/share. If SFIO could earn $100M per year that means that with a P/E of 10 then EPS is $100M/(O/S)=100M/554M=.18 Now P=(PE multiple) * (Earnings/share)=$1.80 per share! So if you think that SFIO can earn $100M annually then a fair price for SFIO is about $1.80/share! If SFIO were to say trade at a higher P/E ratio because of the real growth potential that the emerging ecig industry could offer then say they instead made about $25M and we put a p/e of 15 then
From what I know and heard the only time any big company will buy out the little fish is when they show audited financials and a track record of years in business. There are PK companies trading for 5 bucks-20 bucks a share. This company is not going to Nasdaq anytime soon but we could see a restructure to benefit SFIO and the investors internally.
There is so much speculation but A buy out wont happen anytime soon.
