Is BMO under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the BMO P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

BMO's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, BMO stocks trade at around 11x recent earnings.

BMO's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.7368. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into BMO's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
