Should you get excited about CCC's future?

The excitement around CCC's growth potential is not unfounded. The consensus forecast from 11 analysts is extremely positive with earnings per share estimated to surge from current levels of PLN6.964 to PLN16.009 over the next three years. On average, this leads to a growth rate of 25.82% each year, which illustrates a highly optimistic outlook in the near term.

Is CCC available at a good price after accounting for its growth?

CCC is trading at quite a high price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 37.19x. This tells us that CCC is overvalued compared to the PL market average ratio of 13.08x , and overvalued based on current earnings compared to the luxury industry average of 13.69x .

After looking at CCC's value based on current earnings, we can see it seems overvalued relative to other companies in the industry. However, seeing as CCC is perceived as a high-growth stock, we must also account for its earnings growth, which is captured in the PEG ratio. A PE ratio of 37.19x and expected year-on-year earnings growth of 25.82% give CCC a higher PEG ratio of 1.44x. Based on this growth, CCC's stock can be considered slightly overvalued , based on fundamental analysis.

What this means for you:

CCC'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.
