Graham Number is a figure that measures a stock's fundamental value by taking into account the company's earnings per share and book value per share. The Graham number is the upper bound of the price range that a defensive investor should pay for the stock. According to the theory, any stock price below the Graham number is considered undervalued, and thus worth investing in.
As of today (2024-04-19), the stock price of Actions Semiconductor Co is $2.14. Actions Semiconductor Co's graham number for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2016 was $N/A. Therefore, Actions Semiconductor Co's Price to Graham Number ratio for today is N/A.

Actions Semiconductor Co (NAS:ACTS) Graham Number Explanation
Ben Graham actually did not publish a formula like this. But he wrote in The Intelligent Investor (1948 version) regarding to the criteria for purchases:
Current price should not be more than 15 times average earnings of the past three years.
Current price should not be more than 1.5 times the book value last reported. However, a multiplier of earnings below 15 could justify a correspondingly higher multiplier of assets. As a rule of thumb we suggest that the product of the multiplier times the ratio of price to book value should not exceed 22.5. (This figure corresponds to 15 times earnings and 1.5 times book value. It would admit an issue selling at only 9 times earnings and 2.5 times asset value, etc.)
Unlike valuation methods such as DCF or Discounted Earnings, the Graham number does not take growth into the valuation. Unlike the valuation methods based on book value alone, it takes into account the earnings power. Therefore, the Graham Number is a combination of asset valuation and earnings power valuation.
In general, the Graham number is a very conservative way of valuing a stock. It cannot be applied to companies with negative book values.

Be Aware
Please keep these in mind:
1. Graham Number does not take growth into account. Therefore it underestimates the values of the companies that have good earnings growth. We feel that if the earnings per share grows more than 10% a year, Graham Number underestimates the value.
2. Graham Number punishes the companies that have temporarily low earnings. Therefore, an average of earnings makes more sense in the calculation of Graham Number.
3. Graham Numbers underestimates companies that are light with book.

Actions Semiconductor Co (Actions Semiconductor Co) Business Description
Actions Semiconductor Co Ltd an exempted company incorporated under the Companies Law (2013 Revision), as amended, of the Cayman Islands on July 27, 2005. The Company is a fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops and markets integrated platform solutions, including SoCs, firmware, software development tools and reference designs, for manufacturers of portable media players and smart handheld devices such as tablets. It provides integrated platform solutions to tablet and portable media player manufacturers, brand owners and value-added distributors that enable them to accelerate the time-to-market for their products. Its integrated platform solutions, which comprise SoCs, firmware, software development tools and reference designs, obviate the need for its customers to invest in costly and time-consuming internal firmware and software development for their products, or to source them from multiple suppliers. The Company's network of third-party value-added distributors and applications developers enable its customers to quickly introduce products with differentiated features and to cost-effectively customize its solutions. Its mixed-signal design capabilities allows it to integrate analog and digital components using a compact system architecture in its portable media player SoCs, and enable its customers to reduce their overall costs and produce smaller, more power-efficient portable products. The Company's proximity to the China-based manufacturers of tablets and portable media players and presence in the rapidly evolving China market for tablets and portable media players enables the Company to identify market trends and align its product development efforts with these market trends. The Company's research and development efforts during 2011, 2012 and 2013 focused principally on: (i) the development of tablets solutions and applications including ATM7029, ATM7021 and ATM7039, (ii) the improvement of traditional portable media player and boombox solutions including ATJ331X/AK211X/ATJ212X series, ATJ225X/ATJ227X series and ATS25XX/ATS26XX series. The Company faces competition from SoC platform providers such as ALi, AllWinner, Amlogic, Anyka, BestRely, Buildwin, Freescale, General Plus, Infotmic, Ingenic, Intel, JieLI, MVSilicon, Rockchips, Vmicro and WonderMedia. As it diversifies and expands its product categories, it may also face competition from other semiconductor companies and manufacturers of consumer electronics and mobile devices.
