A Lower P/B Ratio Than Its Sector Average but Trades Above Its Graham Number:
Analog Devices has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 24.6, compared to an average of 27.16 for the Technology sector. Based on its EPS guidance of $8.43, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 21.5. The company doesn't provide forward earnings guidance, and the compound average growth rate of its last 6 years of reported EPS is 23.4%. On this basis, Analog Devices's PEG ratio is 1.05. Using instead the 10.5% weighted average of Analog Devices's earnings CAGR and the broader market's anticipated 5-year EPS growth rate, the company's PEG ratio is 2.35, which suggests that its shares may be overpriced. In contrast, the market is likely undervaluing Analog Devices in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 2.37 while the sector average is 6.23. The company's shares are currently trading 88.5% above their Graham number.
