Newmark Is Currently Fairly Valued:

Compared to the Real Estate sector's average of 27.16, Newmark has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 7.9 and, according to its EPS guidance of 1.3, an expected P/E ratio of 7.0. Newmark's PEG ratio is 0.03 based on its 258.33% 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 Newmark's past and expected EPS is probably not sustainable. This more prudent approach shows a PEG ratio of 0.6, which still suggests that company's shares are possibly undervalued.

Furthermore, Newmark is likely undervalued in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 1.3 compared to its sector average of 2.39. The company's shares are currently trading -41.6% below their Graham number, implying there is a margin of safety for the stock. The Graham number is calculated according to the formula:

√(22.5 * 3-year average EPS * book value per share) = √(22.5 * 1.59 * 6.739) = $15.53
