Metrics Analysis
BABA has a trailing twelve month Price to Earnings (PE) ratio of 17.1. The historical average of roughly 15 shows a average value for BABA stock as investors are paying fair share prices relative to the company's earnings. BABA's average trailing PE ratio shows that the firm has been trading around its fair market value recently. Its trailing 12-month earnings per share (EPS) of 8.41 justifies the stock's current price. However, trailing PE ratios do not factor in the company's projected growth rate, resulting in many newer firms having high PE ratios due to high growth potential enticing investors despite inadequate earnings. BABA currently has a 12-month-forward-PE-to-Growth (PEG) ratio of 1.21. The market is currently overvaluing BABA in relation to its projected growth due to the PEG ratio being above the fair market value of 1. BABA's PEG comes from its forward price to earnings ratio being divided by its growth rate. Because PEG ratios include more fundamentals of a company's overall health with additional focus on the future, they are one of the most used valuation metrics by analysts.
Summary
All together these valuation metrics paint a pretty poor picture for BABA at its current price due to a overvalued PEG ratio despite strong growth. The PE and PEG for BABA are worse than the average of the market resulting in a valuation score of 87.
