- Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.63705119572552 is higher than its current P/E ratio of 18.10, implying that analysts are expecting a decrease in earnings.
- The company's price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG Ratio), a widely used indicator of a stock's true value while also factoring in expected earnings growth, currently stands at 2.38. A fairly valued company should have a PEG ratio of 1.0. When a company's PEG exceeds 1.0, it's considered overvalued while a stock with a PEG of less than 1.0 is considered undervalued.
- The company's debt-to-equity ratio, which measures the extent to which it finances its operations through debt, currently stands at 1.32 which means it currently has $1.32 of debt for every $1 of equity.

Some industries are known for having much higher debt to equity ratios than others.
