Is it a good time to buy Snapchat stock?
The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.
Is Snapchat under- or over-valued?
Valuing Snapchat stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Snapchat's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Snapchat's PEG ratio
Snapchat's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.6362. 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 Snapchat's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Snapchat share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Snapchat's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$7.86 up to US$14.38. 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 Snapchat's is 1.314. This would suggest that Snapchat's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
