During three years of share price growth, Taylor Devices achieved compound earnings per share growth of 35% per year. This EPS growth is higher than the 29% average annual increase in the share price. So it seems investors have become more cautious about the company, over time. This cautious sentiment is reflected in its (fairly low) P/E ratio of 10.85. With the earnings report, shares should head higher.
