Valuation
Is Allison Transmission overvalued, and is it a good time to buy Allison Transmission right now? If you're wondering, here's a recap to make up your own mind: Allison Transmission's valuation vs its sector median, to weigh alongside analyst reliability (above) and past performance. Educational information, not buy advice.
The P/E (price ÷ earnings per share) = how many years of earnings you pay for the stock. The higher it is, the more growth the market expects — but the pricier the stock, so more vulnerable if growth disappoints. The forward P/E uses next year's expected earnings: lower than the current P/E = rising expected earnings. We compare it to the sector median to see whether the stock is expensive relative to its peers.
| Metric | Allison Transmission | Sector median (Industrials) |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 20.4 | 29.2 |
| Forward P/E | 11.4 | 19.5 |
| Net margin | 12% | 11% |
👉 Allison Transmission trades below its sector median (20.4 vs 29.2) — potentially undervalued, or lower expected growth.
