How is Trackwise Designs going to perform in the future?
One reason why investors are attracted to TWD is the high growth potential in the near future. Analyst expectations are extremely bullish with earnings per share estimated to rise from today’s level of £0.0445 to £0.0509 over the next three years. This results in an annual growth rate of 41%, on average, which indicates an exceedlingly positive future in the near term.
Is TWD’s share price justified by its earnings growth?
Trackwise Designs is available at price-to-earnings ratio of 21.93x, showing us it is overvalued based on current earnings compared to the Electronic industry average of 14.41x , and overvalued compared to the GB market average ratio of 15.16x .
We already know that TWD appears to be overvalued when compared to its industry average. However, to properly examine the value of a high-growth stock such as Trackwise Designs, we must reflect its earnings growth into the valuation. I find that the PEG ratio is simple yet effective for this exercise. A PE ratio of 21.93x and expected year-on-year earnings growth of 41% give Trackwise Designs a very low PEG ratio of 0.54x. Based on this growth, Trackwise Designs’s stock can be considered relatively cheap , based on the fundamentals.
What this means for you:
TWD’s current undervaluation could signal a potential buying opportunity to increase your exposure to the stock, or it you’re a potential investor, now may 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.
