Dominion Energy Is Too Expensive at Current Levels:
Compared to the Utilities sector's average of 22.89, Dominion Energy has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 50.7 and, according to its EPS guidance of 3.82, an expected P/E ratio of 13.67. Dominion Energy's PEG ratio is 0.29 based on its 175.2% 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 Dominion Energy's past and expected EPS is probably not sustainable. This more prudent approach shows a PEG ratio of 3.89, which suggests that the company's shares are actually overvalued.
Dominion Energy's P/B ratio is 1.843 compared to its sector average of 1.03. The company is likely overvalued in terms of its net asset value. The company's shares are currently trading 39.59% above their fair value as expressed by Benjamin Graham's formula:
√(22.5 * 5-year average EPS * book value per share) = √(22.5 * 1.99 * 31.25) = $37.41
