Alternative ways to invest in Atlas Copco

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 Atlas Copco), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Atlas Copco is a major part of the PINK, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Atlas Copco 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 Atlas Copco P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Atlas Copco's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Atlas Copco's shares trade at around 30x recent earnings.

Atlas Copco's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6297. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

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

Atlas Copco's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $44.6 billion (£35.7 billion).

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