Is Xcel Energy 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 Xcel Energy P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Xcel Energy's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Xcel Energy's stocks trade at around 19x 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.
Xcel Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2166. 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 Xcel Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Xcel Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $5.5 billion ($7.7 billion CAD).
The EBITDA is a measure of Xcel Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
