Is GameStop 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 GameStop P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

GameStop's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, GameStop's shares trade at around 26x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37).

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

GameStop's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.86. 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 GameStop'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 GameStop's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

GameStop's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $169 million (£127.8 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of GameStop'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.
