Criteria proven by this page:
- VALUE (24/100, Fail) — trailing P/E is well above the S&P 500 average of ~25, suggesting a premium valuation (P/E 197.7); trailing earnings yield is below the 10-year Treasury yield (~4.3%), meaning bonds offer a better return (EY 0.51%).
- Forward P/E 53.3 (down from trailing 197.7) — analysts expect earnings to grow, which would improve the valuation.
- PEG Ratio 1.01 — between 1.0–2.0 indicates moderate valuation relative to growth.
