Is Thomson Reuters 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 Thomson Reuters P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Thomson Reuters's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, Thomson Reuters shares trade at around 29x 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.

However, Thomson Reuters's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the specialty business services industry or those of similar companies.

Thomson Reuters's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1291. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Thomson Reuters'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 Thomson Reuters's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

Thomson Reuters's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $2 billion (£1.6 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Thomson Reuters'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.
