Capital
Appreciation
Value:
Value is a measure of a stock's current worth. TEP.L
has a current Value of 1,100.47p per share. Therefore, it is fairly valued
compared to its Price of 1,036.00p per share. Value is computed from
forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability,
interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth
rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease.
VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time,
a stock's Price and Value always will converge.
RV
(Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation
potential. TEP.L
has an RV of 1.20, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This
indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it
is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out,
AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is
preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks.
VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.
RS
(Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. TEP.L
has an RS rating of 0.92, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is
computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's
financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity,
price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00
is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the VectorVest database.
VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent,
predictable financial performance.
RT
(Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's
price trend. TEP.L
has a Relative Timing rating of 0.83, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to
2.00. RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and
dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and
one year time periods. Once a stock's price has established a strong trend, it
is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates,
RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and
reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with
RT ratings above 1.00.
VST
(VST-Vector): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in
the VectorVest database. TEP.L
has a VST rating of 0.98, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST
is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and
RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value,
Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term
capital appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued
stocks rising in price.
Recommendation
(REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every
stock, every day. TEP.L
has a Sell recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the
VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help
investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors
avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest recommends
that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.
Stop
(Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or
cover a short position. TEP.L has a Stop of 1,057.13p per
share. This is 21.13 abovep TEP.L's current closing Price. A stock's
Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is
fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have
lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest
system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if its Price is above its Stop
and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.
GRT
(Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year
forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year.
TEP.L has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 17.00%, which VectorVest
considers to be very good. GRT is computed from historical, current and
forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the
VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a
stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is
trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. VectorVest favors the
purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current
inflation and interest rates, as shown weekly in our investment climate
report.
EPS
(Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per
Share. TEP.L has a forecasted EPS of £0.59 per share.
VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings
performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.
P/E
(Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation
which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings. TEP.L
has a P/E of 17.51. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low
depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the
VectorVest database is 23.81. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E =
Price/EPS.
EY
(Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price.
EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place
of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always
determinate and can reflect negative earnings. TEP.L has an EY of 5.71
percent. This is above the current average of 4.20% for all the stocks
in the VectorVest database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).
GPE
(Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock
valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. TEP.L has a
GPE rating of 0.98. High growth stocks are believed to be able to
justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when
GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately,
this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on
P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest
rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 3.59%, the operative
GPE ratio is 0.13. Therefore,
TEP.L may be considered to be fairly valued.

TEP.L has a Dividend Yield of 3.67 %. This is above the current average

(DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly
lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.
DS
(Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular
cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the
foreseeable future. TEP.L has a Dividend Safety of 48 which is poor on a
scale of 0 to 99. Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS
values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.
DG
(Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a forecasted annual growth
rate of a company's dividend based on historical dividend payments and dividend
predictability. It is a subtle yet important indicator of a company’s financial
performance. It also provides some insight into the board’s outlook on the
company’s ability to increase earnings. TEP.L has a Dividend Growth of
15% This is above the current average of 1.9% for all the stocks in the
VectorVest database.
YSG
(YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DY, DS and DG into a
single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the
database. TEP.L has a YSG rating of 1.1 which is good. Stocks

and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for about current income and long-term
