Is Perpetual Equity Investment Company under- or over-valued?

Valuing Perpetual Equity Investment Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's P/E ratio

Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Perpetual Equity Investment Company shares trade at around 7x recent earnings.
