Is AppLovin stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing AppLovin stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AppLovin's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AppLovin's P/E ratio
AppLovin's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 75x. In other words, AppLovin shares trade at around 75x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, AppLovin's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the software - application industry or those of similar companies.
- Unity Software (U.US): 0.00
- Activision Blizzard (ATVI.US): 34.59
- Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US): 34.73
AppLovin's PEG ratio
AppLovin's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8496. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into AppLovin's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider AppLovin's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Unity Software (U.US): 0.00
- Activision Blizzard (ATVI.US): 3.80
- Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US): 2.25
AppLovin's EBITDA
