Is Snap-On under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Snap-On P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Snap-On's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Snap-On's stocks trade at around 17x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Snap-On's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2291. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Snap-On's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Snap-On's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $1.5 billion ($1 CAD).

The EBITDA is a measure of Snap-On's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
