Valuation Ratios, P/E and PEG

Market price per share
Earnings per share (EPS)
Annual EPS growth rate

P/E ratio

40.0

price ÷ EPS

PEG ratio

0.80

P/E ÷ growth rate

A PEG below 1.0 is a heuristic for potentially undervalued relative to growth. Because most startup value sits in future growth rather than current earnings, PEG is often more informative than P/E alone, but both rest on a growth assumption that is hard to pin down early.
