Is Daqo New Energy 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 Daqo New Energy P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Daqo New Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 2x. In other words, Daqo New Energy shares trade at around 2x 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, Daqo New Energy's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the semiconductor equipment & materials industry or those of similar companies.
- SSR Mining (SSRM.US): 16.33
- NewMarket Corporation (NEU.US): 12.92
Daqo New Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.1738. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued 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 Daqo New Energy'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 Daqo New Energy's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Daqo New Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $3.1 billion (£2.5 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Daqo New Energy'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.
- Pan American Silver (PAAS.US): USD$264.5 million
- Hecla Mining Company (HL.US): USD$166.8 million
- SSR Mining (SSRM.US): USD$371.1 million
- NewMarket Corporation (NEU.US): USD$473 million
