Is Hilton Food Group 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 Hilton Food Group P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Hilton Food Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 37x. In other words, Hilton Food Group shares trade at around 37x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

However, Hilton Food Group's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the packaged foods industry or those of similar companies.

Hilton Food Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £119.6 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Hilton Food Group'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.
