1. Defensive Stocks Expensive According to PEG Ratio

Chart Kid Matt The PEG ratio adjusts “P/E” for “long-term earnings growth”.

  • Higher earnings growth relative to P/E will get you a lower PEG

  • Lower earnings growth relative to P/E will get you a higher PEG

Earnings growth is assessed on a forward basis based on consensus estimates.

The point is, P/E has little value without understanding how the “E” is expected to change in the future.

Because PEG takes the forward change of the “E” into account, I think it’s a superior fundamental metric to watch than just looking at the P/E.

So in today’s chart, I took the Russell 3000 constituents with available data and plotted the median PEG ratio by sector.

I want to see where the “cheap” and “expensive” stocks are based on this metric.

Here it is, sorted by Cyclicals, Near Cyclicals, and Defensives:

Remember, a higher PEG ratio means a “higher valuation.”

10. Look for Green Flags Not Red Flags

We were taught to look out for red flags. Little signs that something is wrong, that we should be careful or even turn around.

Don’t let that distract you from being on the lookout for green flags.

We might need encouragement to leap forward. If you look for the green flags, you’re more likely to find them.
