Is The Progressive 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 The Progressive P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
The Progressive's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 48x. In other words, The Progressive shares trade at around 48x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
The Progressive's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9148. 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 The Progressive's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
The Progressive's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $2.7 billion (£2.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a The Progressive's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
