After looking at TEG's value based on current earnings, we can see it seems overvalued relative to other companies in the industry. But, to be able to properly assess the value of a high-growth stock such as Ten Entertainment Group, we must incorporate its earnings growth in our valuation. The PEG ratio is a great calculation to take account of growth in the stock's valuation. A PE ratio of 18.24x and expected year-on-year earnings growth of 12% give Ten Entertainment Group a higher PEG ratio of 1.52x. So, when we include the growth factor in our analysis, Ten Entertainment Group appears a bit overvalued , based on its fundamentals.

What this means for you:

TEG'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.
