Is Ameren 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 Ameren P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Ameren's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Ameren shares trade at around 19x 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 shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Ameren's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the utilities-regulated electric industry or those of similar companies.
Ameren's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.5479. 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 Ameren'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 Ameren's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Ameren's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $3 billion (£2.4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Ameren'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.
- Duke Energy Corporation (DUK.US): USD$12.4 billion
- American Electric Power Company (AEP.US): USD$6.9 billion
- FirstEnergy Corporation (FE.US): USD$3.5 billion
- Nextera Energy (NEE.US): USD$12.2 billion
