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. ECL currently has a 12-month-forward-PE-to-Growth (PEG) ratio of 2.84. The market is currently overvaluing ECL in relation to its projected growth due to the PEG ratio being above the fair market value of 1.
