Is Hologic stock undervalued or overvalued?

Hologic's P/E ratio
Hologic's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, Hologic shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.

Hologic's PEG ratio
Hologic's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2839. 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 Hologic's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
