Is PubMatic stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

PubMatic'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, PubMatic 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 shares or simply that they're over-valued.

However, PubMatic's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the software - application industry or those of similar companies.

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