Is Atlas Copco 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 Atlas Copco P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Atlas Copco's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, Atlas Copco shares trade at around 29x recent earnings.

Atlas Copco's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.6453. 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 Atlas Copco's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
