At a recent price of $23.60, Hutchison is selling at a hefty multiple of 16 times cash flow. Its price-to-earnings ratio is meaningless since it is currently posting a loss on the bottom line. For a more mature company, these valuations might be troubling, but since Hutchison is in such an extremely rapid growth phase, traditional valuation analysis is a difficult exercise. If you wait for the ratios to make sense, you'll miss the opportunity.
