Price Earnings to Growth ratio determines the stock’s value while taking into account the future earnings growth rate. It is used to get better understanding of whether a company’s stock is overpriced, underpriced or just fairly priced. The PEG ratio uses the PE ratio of the company and compares it with the estimated annual growth rate of a company.

How to interpret PEG

A PEG ratio of 1 indicates that a stock is fairly priced and the current stock price has factored in the anticipated growth rate.

A PEG ratio of less than 1 indicates that a stock is undervalued and the stock price has potential to move higher in the future and vice-versa.

FormulaPEG = Price Earnings ratio/Annual EPS growth

PE ratio: 10 Annual EPS growth forecast: 10% PEG ratio will be 1.
