2) If both the share price and EPS is high. Although, the change is share price is higher.

Recommendation

From the entire report of Square Pharmaceuticals LTD. and Renata LTD. we can assume that Square is performing better than Renata in terms profitably, liquidity and debt ratio. However, in case of the P/E ratio, Square has a lower P/E than Renata. In our opinion, we would suggest investing in Square as the profits are higher and the upward trend is more

Book value per share

Market/Book ratio

sustainable than Renata LTD. Square has managed to perform well in almost all the sectors and dealt with their inefficiency efficiently. As a result, we believe investing in Square would have lower risk involved in comparison to the return.

Conclusion

After checking all the ratios of both the companies, we can conclude that both the companies are performing well and have their own share of respect in the market. Despite of all these, Renata has been underperforming in comparison to Square in almost all the aspect. On the contrary, Renata did manage to provide with a higher EPS than Square which might instigate investors to invest more due to higher return. But if we look at the long run prospective, Square has been outperforming Renata with better efficiency and will be a more sustainable one to invest.
