Is PagerDuty (PD) Stock Undervalued Right Now?

While the proven Zacks Rank places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find strong stocks, we also know that investors tend to develop their own individual strategies. With this in mind, we are always looking at value, growth, and momentum trends to discover great companies.

Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

On top of the Zacks Rank, investors can also look at our innovative Style Scores system to find stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will want to focus on the "Value" category. Stocks with high Zacks Ranks and "A" grades for Value will be some of the highest-quality value stocks on the market today.

PagerDuty (PD) is a stock many investors are watching right now. PD is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an A for Value. The stock holds a P/E ratio of 15.36, while its industry has an average P/E of 27.00. Over the past year, PD's Forward P/E has been as high as 28.68 and as low as 13.23, with a median of 20.09.

Value investors also use the P/S ratio. The P/S ratio is calculated as price divided by sales. This is a preferred metric because revenue can't really be manipulated, so sales are often a truer performance indicator. PD has a P/S ratio of 1.2. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 2.91.

These are only a few of the key metrics included in PagerDuty's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, PD looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
