power tools - just real hard-core basic stuff. One area to pick up in there business -they have


3:39
one excerpt from the web site that says " emergency preparedness supplies". So you know you can

services page. On to some of their metrics. As we mentioned annual revenues last 12 months

4:31
18% - we consider that flat. On to the valuation metrics. The trailing P/E ratio for MSC stands


4:41
at 20.4. The forward P/E ratio stands at 18.0 So we expect to see some some growth in earnings

going forward. The PEG ratio is at 1.9. The Price to Sales ratio is 2.1. The Price to Book ratio is at 3.7. And the


5:00
Enterprise Value to EBITDA ratio is 12.2. So the valuation metrics are
