From Yahoo Finance : Key statistics are that it is a 131 Million Market Cap Company.

Most importantly, its EV/EBITDA is 5.1, screaming value buy at that EV/EBITDA.

Share price has fallen by 18% in last one month due to a result announcement that profit will fall by 15%.

The dividend is 0.6 Euro, with a 2.4% yield on cost.

I have done up a blog post on this, available here http://sgx-stocks-sti.blogspot.sg/2014/0...er-ag.html

Broadly, if you want to look at a stock for a 30% appreciation potential, this could be your ticket, if you buy at around 21 Euro.

I encourage you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that I write about, because I could be and probably am wrong.

Nothing written here is an invitation to buy or sell any particular stock.

At most, I am handing out an educated guess as to what the markets may do.

The market will always find a new way to make a fool out of me (and maybe, even you!).

Even the best strategies of the past fail, sometimes spectacularly, when you least expect it.

I am not immune to that, so please understand that any past success of mine will probably be followed by failures

had written about Eckert & Ziegler last month.

http://sgx-stocks-sti.blogspot.sg/2014/0...er-ag.html

This post is to look at a recent development which may have an impact on Eckert & Ziegler.

http://sgx-stocks-sti.blogspot.sg/2014/0...nc_30.html

Nordion is a similar company in Canada, which has recently i.e. yesterday been acquired.

Eckert & Ziegler has an Enterprise Value / EBITDA multiple of 4.87.

Data provided by Capital IQ, except where noted.
Valuation Measures
Market Cap (intraday)5: 128.29M
Enterprise Value (Mar 31, 2014)3: 118.25M
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 13.59
Forward P/E (fye Dec 31, 2014)1: N/A
PEG Ratio (5 yr expected)1: N/A
Price/Sales (ttm): 1.08
Price/Book (mrq): 1.59
Enterprise Value/Revenue (ttm)3: 1.00
Enterprise Value/EBITDA (ttm)6: 4.87

Nordion which has been acquired was having a multiple of 6.05.

Valuation Measures
Market Cap (intraday)5: 644.47M
Enterprise Value (Mar 31, 2014)3: 363.63M
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 2.36
Forward P/E (fye Oct 31, 2015)1: 12.39
PEG Ratio (5 yr expected)1: -0.28
Price/Sales (ttm): 2.60
Price/Book (mrq): 1.40
Enterprise Value/Revenue (ttm)3: 1.46
Enterprise Value/EBITDA (ttm)6: 6.05

This means that an acquisition price of 11.75, Nordion has a EV/EBITDA multiple of 6.82.

Applying that multiple to Eckert & Ziegler, provides one with a target price of 34.01, against its current price of 24.26.

The upside is around 40%.

I am not currently long the stock as I wanted to wait till it hits 20.87 before buying it.

However, with Nordion's acquisition, chances are somebody will make the connection like me and bid it up.

Hence, I am planning to go long within the next couple of days.
