Is Honda 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 Honda P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Honda's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Honda shares trade at around 10x recent earnings.

Honda's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.6361. 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 Honda's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Honda's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $2,322.3 billion (£1,891.5 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Honda's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

What's Honda's ESG track record?

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Honda.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Honda is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Honda's environmental score: 15.51/100

Honda's environmental score of 15.51 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Honda is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Honda's controversy score: 4/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. A high-profile company, Honda scored a 4 out of 5 for controversy – the second-lowest score possible, reflecting that Honda has a damaged public profile.
