V.F. Is Overvalued:
Compared to the Consumer Cyclical sector's average of 24.11, V.F. has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 27.8 and, according to its EPS guidance of 2.33, an expected P/E ratio of 12.9. V.F.'s PEG ratio is 0.93 based on its 30.0% 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 V.F.'s past and expected EPS is probably not sustainable. This more prudent approach shows a PEG ratio of 2.13, which suggests that the company's shares are actually overvalued.
V.F.'s P/B ratio is 3.8 compared to its sector average of 3.11. The company is likely overvalued in terms of its net asset value. The company's shares are currently trading 46.4% above their fair value as expressed by Benjamin Graham's formula:
√(22.5 * 4-year average EPS * book value per share) = √(22.5 * 2.35 * 7.941) = $20.49
