Metrics Analysis

EWBC has a trailing twelve month Price to Earnings (PE) ratio of 18.8 which places it around the histroical average of roughly 15. EWBC is currently trading at a average value due to investors paying around what the stock is worth in relation to its earnings. EWBC's trailing-12-month earnings per share (EPS) of 3.97 does justify its share price in the market. Trailing PE ratios do not factor in the company's projected growth rate, thus, some firms will have high PE ratios caused by high growth recruiting more investors even if the underlying company has produced low earnings so far.

EWBC has a 12 month forward PE to Growth (PEG) ratio of 1.59. Markets are undervaluing EWBC in relation to its projected growth as its PEG ratio is currently below the fair market value of 1. 3.97000002's PEG comes from its forward price to earnings ratio being divided by its growth rate. PEG ratios are one of the most used valuation metrics due to its incorporation of more company fundamentals metrics and a focus on the firm's future rather than its past.

Summary

EWBC's valuation metrics are weak at its current price due to a overvalued PEG ratio despite strong growth. EWBC's PE and PEG are worse than the market average resulting in a below average valuation score.
