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.
- Mondelez International (MDLZ.US): 26.18
- General Mills (GIS.US): 18.18

- Unilever (ULVR.LSE): 16.03
Hilton Food Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £119.6 million.
