Is Fortinet under- or over-valued?
Valuing Fortinet stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Fortinet's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Fortinet's P/E ratio
Fortinet's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 58x. In other words, Fortinet shares trade at around 58x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Fortinet's PEG ratio
Fortinet's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9857. 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 Fortinet's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Fortinet's EBITDA
Fortinet's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $924.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Fortinet's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Fortinet's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Fortinet.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Fortinet's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 22.91
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Fortinet's overall score of 22.91 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 26th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Fortinet is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Fortinet's environmental score
Environmental score: 0.36/100
Fortinet's environmental score of 0.36 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Fortinet is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Fortinet's social score
Social score: 14.43/100
Fortinet's social score of 14.43 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Fortinet is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Fortinet's governance score
Governance score: 7.12/100
Fortinet's governance score puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Fortinet is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Fortinet's controversy score
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Fortinet scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Fortinet has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Fortinet share dividends
We're not expecting Fortinet to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Fortinet's shares ever split?
Fortinet's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 23 June 2022. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fortinet shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fortinet shares which in turn could have impacted Fortinet's share price.
Fortinet share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Fortinet's shares have ranged in value from as little as $42.61 up to $71.516. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Fortinet's is 1.1423. This would suggest that Fortinet's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
