Is Zebra Technologies Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Zebra Technologies Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Zebra Technologies Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Zebra Technologies Corporation's P/E ratio

Zebra Technologies Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 52x. In other words, Zebra Technologies Corporation shares trade at around 52x 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 stock or simply that they're over-valued.

Zebra Technologies Corporation's PEG ratio

Zebra Technologies Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8373. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

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

Zebra Technologies Corporation's EBITDA

Zebra Technologies Corporation's stocks were split on a 3:2 basis on 25 August 2004 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Zebra Technologies Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Zebra Technologies Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted Zebra Technologies Corporation's stock price.

Zebra Technologies Corporation stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Zebra Technologies Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $233.95 up to $413.44. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Zebra Technologies Corporation's is 1.645. This would suggest that Zebra Technologies Corporation's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
