The EBITDA is a measure of a Halma's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability. Halma's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £346.2 million. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies. The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Halma's future profitability. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth. Halma's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.3193. The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued. That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). In other words, Halma shares trade at around 32x recent earnings. Halma's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 32x. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance.
