So far in the N Brown (LSE:BWNG) analysis (see last few Newsletters) we have a dividend yield of 5.5%, an average EPS over 12 years using the statutory reported “basic” numbers of 17.9p (giving a CAPE of 7.3), and an average EPS over 12 years “adjusted” profits of 24.5p (giving a CAPE of 5.3).

We also estimated profit after tax and after deduction of a reasoned level of exceptional items which could well be recurring of £55m.

And we have an owner earnings estimate of £57m leading to an intrinsic value estimate of £713m.

The market capitalisation of the firm is £415m at 146p per share.   I bought last month at 130p (MCap £369m)

Today I’ll add to the canvas by estimating share value using return on net tangible asset figures.
