Alternative ways to invest in The New York Times Company

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including The New York Times Company), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

The New York Times Company is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is The New York Times Company 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 The New York Times Company P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

The New York Times Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, The New York Times Company's shares trade at around 34x recent earnings.

That's relatively high 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 high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

The New York Times Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.11. 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 The New York Times Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

The New York Times Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $411.9 million (£329 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of The New York Times Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
