Looking at PWR Holdings Limited’s (ASX:PWH) fundamentals some investors are wondering if its last closing price of A$3.55 represents a good value for money for this high growth stock. Below I will be talking through a basic metric which will help answer this question.
Check out our latest analysis for PWR Holdings
Can we expect PWH to keep growing?
PWR Holdings’s growth potential is very attractive. Expectations from 2 analysts are extremely positive with earnings per share estimated to rise from today’s level of A$0.121 to A$0.203 over the next three years. On average, this leads to a growth rate of 20% each year, which indicates an exceedlingly positive future in the near term.
Is PWH’s share price justifiable by its earnings growth?
PWH is available at a PE (price-to-earnings) ratio of 29.39x today, which tells us the stock is overvalued based on current earnings compared to the Auto Components industry average of 15.06x , and overvalued compared to the AU market average ratio of 16.19x .
We understand PWH seems to be overvalued based on its current earnings, compared to its industry peers. However, since PWR Holdings is a high-growth stock, we must also account for its earnings growth by using calculation called the PEG ratio. A PE ratio of 29.39x and expected year-on-year earnings growth of 20% give PWR Holdings a higher PEG ratio of 1.45x. So, when we include the growth factor in our analysis, PWR Holdings appears slightly overvalued , based on fundamental analysis.
What this means for you:
PWH’s current overvaluation could signal a potential selling opportunity to reduce your exposure to the stock, or it you’re a potential investor, now may not be the right time to buy. However, basing your investment decision off one metric alone is certainly not sufficient. There are many things I have not taken into account in this article and the PEG ratio is very one-dimensional.
