Is Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America's P/E ratio
Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America shares trade at around 8x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America's PEG ratio
Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.58. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
