Is Guidewire Software stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Guidewire Software's P/E ratio

Guidewire Software's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 472x. In other words, Guidewire Software shares trade at around 472x 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.

Guidewire Software's PEG ratio

Guidewire Software's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.061. 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 Guidewire Software's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Guidewire Software share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Guidewire Software's shares have ranged in value from as little as $102.66 up to $209.145. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Guidewire Software's is 1.186. This would suggest that Guidewire Software's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
