I'm this excited about PEG ratios!!!! |
The Price to Earnings Growth ratio is a very widely used stock ratio. PEG ratio is used by investors to determine a stock's value while taking into account earnings growth. Many people have the opinion that because PEG takes growth into account it is superior to the P/E ratio. The calculation for PEG is as follows: P/E ratio divided by Annual EPS Growth. OH THAT'S CONFUSING CHRIS!!!!!! I know that one is a bit confusing. So I will give an example. Lets take Apple. Apple has a P/E ratio or 'Multiple' of, 14.3 and an annual EPS Growth of, 85%. Therefore the PEG for Apple is a ridiculously low .16! (If you don't remember what the P/E ratio or Multiple is you can look up the post I wrote about it a few weeks ago.)
Stocks with PEG ratios of 2 or less are considered cheap. Lower PEG ratios mean that the stock in undervalued. Keep in mind that 5 year projected PEG ratios are using estimates instead of real numbers when you look them up.
When I looked for PEG ratio's on the internet I was only able to find the 5 year projected PEG for stocks. Yahoo.com finance and thestreet.com where the only financial sites that I could find them on. Although it takes a bit of work to find them, PEG ratios are a valuable tool when it comes to evaluationing stocks.
