What is Linde PEG Ratio?

PE Ratio without NRI / 5-Year EBITDA Growth Rate*

PEG Ratio is defined as the PE Ratio without NRI divided by the growth ratio. The growth rate we use is the 5-Year EBITDA growth rate. As of today, Linde's PE Ratio without NRI is 28.77. Linde's 5-Year EBITDA growth rate is 5.50%. Therefore, Linde's PEG Ratio for today is 5.23.

* The 5-Year EBITDA Growth Rate is the 5-year average EBITDA per share growth rate. While the denominator is a percentage, we use the whole number as opposed to the decimal form for the calculation. For example, 5% would be shown as 5 as opposed to 0.05. If it's smaller than or equal to 0, then the PEG Ratio is not calculated.
