Criteria proven by this page:

  • VALUE (30/100, Fail) — PEG > 2.0 means the stock is expensive even after accounting for growth (PEG 4.76).
  • Forward P/E 28.0 (down from trailing 33.8) — analysts expect earnings to grow, which would improve the valuation.
  • PEG Ratio 4.76 — above 2.0 suggests expensive relative to earnings growth.
