Is Wizz Air under- or over-valued?
Valuing Wizz Air stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Wizz Air's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Wizz Air's P/E ratio
Wizz Air's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Wizz Air shares trade at around 18x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Wizz Air's PEG ratio
Wizz Air's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.2332. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Wizz Air's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Wizz Air share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Wizz Air's shares have ranged in value from as little as 1500p up to 4904p. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while Wizz Air's is 1.6925. This would suggest that Wizz Air's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
