Metrics Analysis

WRK's trailing-12-month Price to Earnings (PE) ratio of 15.6 puts it around the historical average of roughly 15. WRK is a average value at its current trading price as investors are paying around what its worth in relation to the company's earnings. WRK's trailing-12-month earnings per share (EPS) of 2.96 does 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.
WRK's 12-month-forward PE to Growth (PEG) ratio of 0.44 is considered a good value as the market is undervaluing WRK in relation to the company's projected earnings growth. WRK's PEG comes from its forward price to earnings ratio being divided by its growth rate. A PEG ratio of 1 represents a perfect correlation between earnings growth and share price. Due to their incorporation of more fundamentals of a company's overall health and focusing on the future rather than the past, PEG ratios are one of the most used valuation metrics by analysts today.

Summary

WRK's valuation metrics are strong at its current price due to a undervalued PEG ratio despite strong growth. WRK's PE and PEG are better than the market average resulting in a above average valuation score. Click Here to get the full Report on Westrock Co (WRK) stock.
