Metrics Analysis

VMW's trailing-12-month Price to Earnings (PE) ratio of 23.8 puts it above the historical average of roughly 15. VMW 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. VMW's trailing-12-month earnings per share (EPS) of 4.78 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. VMW currently has a 12-month-forward-PE-to-Growth (PEG) ratio of 1.9. The market is currently overvaluing VMW in relation to its projected growth due to the PEG ratio being above the fair market value of 1. VMW'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

VMW's valuation metrics are weak at its current price due to a overvalued PEG ratio despite strong growth. VMW'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 VMware, Inc. (VMW) stock.
