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 Matson P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Matson's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Matson's shares trade at around 16x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Matson's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
Matson's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.014. 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 Matson'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 Matson's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Matson's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $674.6 million (£507 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of Matson'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.
