Is LYFT stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

LYFT's PEG ratio

LYFT's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7815. 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 LYFT's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
