Is Pacific Coast Oil Trust under- or over-valued?

Valuing Pacific Coast Oil Trust stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Pacific Coast Oil Trust's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Pacific Coast Oil Trust's P/E ratio

Pacific Coast Oil Trust's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1x. In other words, Pacific Coast Oil Trust shares trade at around 1x recent earnings.
