Is Glanbia 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 Glanbia P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Glanbia's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 0x. In other words, Glanbia shares trade at around 0x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Glanbia's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.4576. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Glanbia's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Glanbia's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is €396 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Glanbia's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
