Metrics Analysis

UL has a trailing twelve month Price to Earnings (PE) ratio of 19.8 which places it around the histroical average of roughly 15. UL is currently trading at a average value due to investors paying around what the stock is worth in relation to its earnings. UL's trailing-12-month earnings per share (EPS) of 4.00 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.
UL currently has a 12-month-forward-PE-to-Growth (PEG) ratio of 3.24. The market is currently overvaluing UL in relation to its projected growth due to the PEG ratio being above the fair market value of 1. UL's PEG comes from its forward price to earnings ratio being divided by its growth rate. Because PEG ratios include more fundamentals of a company's overall health with additional focus on the future, they are one of the most used valuation metrics by analysts.

Summary

UL's valuation metrics are weak at its current price due to a overvalued PEG ratio due to strong growth. UL's PE and PEG are worse than the market average resulting in a below average valuation score. Click Here to get the full Report on Unilever plc (UL) stock.
