Valuation
Is PG&E Corporation overvalued, and is it a good time to buy PG&E Corporation right now? If you're wondering, here's a recap to make up your own mind: PG&E Corporation'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 | PG&E Corporation | Sector median (Utilities) |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 12.9 | 20.9 |
| Forward P/E | 9.9 | 16.9 |
| Net margin | 12% | 14% |
