Two listed companies have the exact same Financial Statements, yet the P/E Multiple of company A is 2x the P/E of B. Why?
I got this question in an internship interview recently. I listed a potential recent lawsuit, the general economic differences in each respective country and a recent earnings miss by the lower valued company as possible reasons.
I personally think that these answers aren't bad, yet the interviewer literally responded with: "That answer was rather disappointing. Next one". Can you think of a reason why he said that?
