Is Alaska Air Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Alaska Air Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Alaska Air Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Alaska Air Group's P/E ratio

Alaska Air Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Alaska Air Group shares trade at around 24x 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 stock or simply that they're under-valued.

Alaska Air Group's PEG ratio

Alaska Air Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

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

Alaska Air Group's EBITDA

Alaska Air Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.3 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Alaska Air Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Alaska Air Group stocks, which in turn could have impacted Alaska Air Group's stock price.

Alaska Air Group stock price volatility

ALK.US volatility(beta: 1.59)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh
