Here you can find the previous analysis of DBAG 2016.

contrarian analysis, DBAG

The P/E for DBAG is good today with its 10.2 and the P/B is also good with 1.4 which gives a very clear by signal from Graham. There is not need to bring up earnings to sales but the ROE is up at almost 14% which is so, so. The book to debt ratio is great with over 10.
Their revenue is going up and down and last year, 2016, was a good year but so was 2011 so the growth rate in these five years have not been impressive with its 2% and this then gives us a motivated P/E of 10 to 12 which means that DBAG is fairly valued on the market today.
They pay an acceptable dividend in the size of 3.5% which correspond to 36% of their earnings so hopefully something that they will be able to keep up.

Conclusion: Graham says yes and I do not. The P/E and P/B is good and so is the dividend that the pay but they have started to get close to full valuation and for this reason I think there will be better moments to step in as a shareholder, such as after the dividend payment. This said I will still remain as a shareholder in DBAG.
