Is Arm stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Arm's P/E ratio

Arm's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 239x. In other words, Arm shares trade at around 239x 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, Arm's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the semiconductors industry or those of similar companies.

• Apple (AAPL.US): 40.47
• Intel Corporation (INTC.US): 0.00
• NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 54.85

Arm's PEG ratio

Arm's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3623. 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 Arm's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Arm's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

• Apple (AAPL.US): 2.56
• Intel Corporation (INTC.US): 0.56
• NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 0.87

Arm's EBITDA

Arm's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $520 million.

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

• Apple (AAPL.US): USD$134.7 billion
• Intel Corporation (INTC.US): USD$10.4 billion
• NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): USD$61.2 billion
