Remember when everyone and their dogs were pushing Beauty and it reached an all time high above 20 baht…at its peak Beauty was trading at a forward PE in the high 70s. Well at 160 baht what forward PE is Gulf trading at? This is a classic example of a good company does not necessarily make a good investment and a bad company doesnt necessarily make a bad investment. Everything is always relative to valuation.
