QGEN is a poor value at its current trading price as investors are paying more than what its worth in relation to the company's earnings. QGEN's trailing-12-month earnings per share (EPS) of 1.86 does not justify what it is currently trading at in the market. Trailing PE ratios, however, do not factor in a company's projected growth rate, resulting in some firms having high PE ratios due to high growth potentially enticing investors even if current earnings are low.
QGEN currently has a 12-month-forward-PE-to-Growth (PEG) ratio of 8.35. The market is currently overvaluing QGEN in relation to its projected growth due to the PEG ratio being above the fair market value of 1. QGEN's PEG comes from its forward price to earnings ratio being divided by its growth rate.
