Is JD Sports 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 JD Sports P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
JD Sports's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 50x. In other words, JD Sports shares trade at around 50x 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, JD Sports's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the apparel retail industry or those of similar companies.
- Foot Locker (FL.US): 9.84
- Nike (NKE.US): 28.38
- Frasers Group (SPD.LSE): 21.86
JD Sports's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6162. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued 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 JD Sports'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 JD Sports's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Nike (NKE.US): 3.63
- Frasers Group (SPD.LSE): 0.39
JD Sports's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping £1.3 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a JD Sports'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.
- Foot Locker (FL.US): USD$712 million
- Nike (NKE.US): USD$7.1 billion
- Frasers Group (SPD.LSE): GBP£318.4 million
