Alternative ways to invest in Northwest Pipe Company

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Northwest Pipe Company), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Northwest Pipe Company is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Northwest Pipe Company 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 Northwest Pipe Company P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Northwest Pipe Company'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, Northwest Pipe Company's shares trade at around 18x 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 November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Northwest Pipe Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7875. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

Northwest Pipe Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $57.2 million (£0 billion).
