Trades Below Its Fair Value but Has an Elevated P/B Ratio:

Interactive Brokers has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 32.1, compared to an average of 15.92 for the Finance sector. Based on its EPS guidance of $6.91, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 8.8. Interactive Brokers's PEG ratio is 2.44 on the basis of the 13.1% weighted average of the company and the broader market's EPS compound average growth rates. This suggests that the company's shares are overvalued. Furthermore, Interactive Brokers is likely overvalued compared to the book value of its equity, since its P/B ratio of 5.81 is higher than the sector average of 1.78. The company's shares are currently trading -18.9% above their Graham number. Ultimately, Interactive Brokers's strong cash flows, decent earnings multiple, and healthy debt levels factor towards it being fairly valued, its elevated P/B ratio notwithstanding.
