Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has negative earnings for the current period, so its trailing twelve month P/E ratio is not meaningful. But based on its EPS guidance of 2.52, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 3.3. In contrast, the Health Care sector's average P/E ratio is 24.45.

On the other hand, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is possibly undervalued in terms of its net assets because its P/B ratio is 1.2 compared to its sector average of 4.16.

Despite Teva Pharmaceutical Industries's elevated earnings multiple, the company's impressive cash flow trend, decent P/B ratio, and reasonable leverage demonstrate the company may be fairly valued.
