Brookfield Is Overvalued:
Compared to the Financial Services sector's average of 13.34, Brookfield has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 17.9 and, according to its EPS guidance of 4.41, an expected P/E ratio of 8.4. Brookfield 's PEG ratio is 0.03 based on its 690.0% annual average growth rate of historical and projected earnings per share. However, we believe that it is more prudent to calculate the PEG ratio using the broader market's 5-year expected EPS growth rate of 13.05%, because the growth rate implied by Brookfield's past and expected EPS is probably not sustainable. This more prudent approach shows a PEG ratio of 1.37, which implies that the company's shares might in fact be fairly valued.
Furthermore, Brookfield is likely undervalued in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 1.4 compared to its sector average of 1.95. The company's shares are currently trading 33.4% above their fair value as expressed by Benjamin Graham's formula:
√(22.5 * 3-year average EPS * book value per share) = √(22.5 * 1.33 * 25.643) = $27.7
