Mondelez International shares fell by -2.2% during the day's afternoon session, and are now trading at a price of $69.71. Is it time to buy the dip? To better answer that question, it's essential to check if the market is valuing the company's shares fairly in terms of its earnings and equity levels.
A Lower P/B Ratio Than Its Sector Average but Trades Above Its Graham Number:
Mondelez International, Inc., through its subsidiaries, manufactures, markets, and sells snack food and beverage products in the Latin America, North America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The company belongs to the Consumer Staples sector, which has an average price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 24.36 and an average price to book (P/B) ratio of 4.29. In contrast, Mondelez International has a trailing 12 month P/E ratio of 23.2 and a P/B ratio of 3.31.
Mondelez International's PEG ratio is 2.38, which shows that the stock is probably overvalued in terms of its estimated growth. For reference, a PEG ratio near or below 1 is a potential signal that a company is undervalued.
