I have several profitable corporations that I'd like to eventually go public with. One recurring theme I'm seeing though is a message like this... "The P/E of this corporation (28.2) is too high for an IPO (< 12.0)"
It meets the value and assets goals, but I have no idea how I can influence this segment. Any assistance someone could offer would be greatly appreciated. |

As long as the market value is at least 175b and the assets are at least 80b, you should be able to do an IPO. For an IPO, P/E doesn't matter. The automation is lying when it says that a P/E <12.0 is necessary for an IPO. |

It's a 2 out of 3 arrangement.
Market value greater than 175B
P/E ratio less than 12.0
Corporation Assets greater than 80B
As long as you meet 2 out of 3 of those, it's good to go. |

if you want to get into public corporations you are going to have to learn P/E
companies with high profits and low market value have low P/e |
