Definition

PEG is defined as the P/E Ratio divided by the growth ratio. The ratio we use is the 5-year average EBITDA growth rate.

Formula

PEG = P/E Ratio / EBITDA Growth Rate (5-year average)

Explanation

To compare stocks with different growth rates, Peter Lynch invented a ratio called PEG. PEG is defined as the P/E ratio divided by the growth ratio. He thinks a company with a P/E ratio equal to its growth rate is fairly valued. Still he said he would rather buy a company growing 20% a year with a P/E of 20, instead of a company growing 10% a year with a P/E of 10.
