Is Activision Blizzard 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 Activision Blizzard P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Activision Blizzard's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, Activision Blizzard shares trade at around 34x 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.
However, Activision Blizzard's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the electronic gaming & multimedia industry or those of similar companies.
- Electronic Arts (EA.US): 44.60
- Nintendo Co ADR (NTDOY.US): 15.29
Activision Blizzard's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7987. 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 Activision Blizzard's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Activision Blizzard's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Activision Blizzard's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $2.1 billion (£1.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Activision Blizzard's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Electronic Arts (EA.US): USD$1.9 billion
- Nintendo Co ADR (NTDOY.US): USD$515.4 billion
- Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO.US): USD$1.2 billion
