Is Campbell Soup Company 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 Campbell Soup Company P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Campbell Soup Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Campbell Soup Company shares trade at around 15x 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, Campbell Soup Company's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the packaged foods industry or those of similar companies.

Campbell Soup Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.3044. 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 Campbell Soup Company'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 Campbell Soup Company's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

Campbell Soup Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $1.8 billion (£1.5 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Campbell Soup Company'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.
