Fundamentals & Catalysts

  • Over the past 12 months the company generated $254 million in earnings before interest and taxes from $13 billion in revenue. It currently holds $3 billion in cash and $5 billion in debt.
  • Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 148.97162256242456 is higher than its current P/E ratio of -72.74, 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 27.42. 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 4.90 which means it currently has $4.90 of debt for every $1 of equity.
