Is Duke Energy Corporation 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 Duke Energy Corporation P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Duke Energy Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Duke Energy Corporation shares trade at around 18x 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, Duke Energy Corporation's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the utilities-regulated electric industry or those of similar companies.
- American Electric Power Company (AEP.US): 21.42
- CenterPoint Energy (CNP.US): 22.39
- Ameren (AEE.US): 19.37
- DTE Energy Company (DTE.US): 18.84
Duke Energy Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.6228. 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 Duke Energy Corporation'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 Duke Energy Corporation's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Duke Energy Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $12.4 billion (£10 billion).

- Ameren (AEE.US): USD$3 billion
