What is the PEG Ratio?

The PEG ratio (Price/Earnings to Growth ratio) is a valuation metric for determining the relative trade-off between the price of a stock, the earnings generated per share (EPS), and the company's expected growth. A lower PEG ratio suggests that a stock may be undervalued given its earnings performance and growth potential.

How is the PEG Ratio calculated?

The PEG ratio is calculated by dividing the P/E ratio by the annual EPS growth. The formula is:

PEG Ratio = (P/E Ratio) / (EPS Growth Rate)

This helps investors to determine a stock's value while considering the company's earnings growth.
