Is ServiceNow under- or over-valued?
Valuing ServiceNow stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of ServiceNow's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
ServiceNow's P/E ratio
ServiceNow's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 87x. In other words, ServiceNow shares trade at around 87x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
ServiceNow's PEG ratio
ServiceNow's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5229. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into ServiceNow's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
ServiceNow's EBITDA
ServiceNow's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1.2 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a ServiceNow's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
ServiceNow share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, ServiceNow's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$353.62 up to US$678.03. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while ServiceNow's is 0.994. This would suggest that ServiceNow's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
