Valuation
PEG ratio, Price/Sales, and FCF yield from 8 quarters of SEC filings. Know whether a stock is priced for the growth it's delivering.
Why Valuation Metrics Matter
Growth-adjusted price
P/E alone tells you how expensive a stock is. PEG tells you whether that price is justified by earnings growth. A $50 P/E on a company growing 50% a year is very different from a $50 P/E on a company growing 5% a year.
Useful before profitability
P/E is undefined for companies with negative earnings. Price/Sales still works — you can evaluate whether the market is pricing in plausible future margins. Watch for revenue growth rate to determine whether the multiple is compressing or expanding.
Real cash generation
FCF yield (Free Cash Flow / Market Cap) shows how much actual cash the business generates relative to its price. A company with strong FCF yield can fund buybacks, dividends, or reinvestment without relying on external capital.

US-listed stocks only.Reading PEG
PEG = P/E ÷ EPS Growth Rate (YoY). A PEG of 1 means the market is pricing in exactly the growth
the company is delivering. Below 1 suggests the stock may be undervalued relative to its growth.
Above 2 implies the market expects significant future acceleration — or the stock is simply expensive.
PEG < 1Potentially undervalued. Earnings growth exceeds what the market is pricing in.
PEG 1 – 2Fairly valued range. Price is roughly commensurate with growth expectations.
PEG > 2Growth premium. The market expects growth to accelerate, or the stock is expensive.
PEG is most meaningful when EPS growth is positive and stable. For companies with negative or
highly volatile earnings, P/S and FCF yield are more reliable anchors.
Firma displays a plain-language verdict (e.g., "Fairly valued range (PEG 1-2)") alongside the raw numbers.
