VMC PEG Ratio Analysis

The PEG ratio—price-to-earnings divided by expected earnings growth—of 1.17x suggests the stock is priced roughly in line with its growth prospects; a PEG near 1.0x is often considered fair value.

Against sector peers, this ratio sits above the sector median of 0.92x, placing it in the 56th percentile, meaning it is slightly more expensive relative to growth than over half of its peers. Year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the PEG has decreased by 8.6% (from 1.28x to 1.17x), indicating that either the price has fallen or growth expectations have risen. The combination of a PEG above the sector median with a downward quarterly trend points to a valuation that is above-average but improving in terms of affordability, reducing immediate risk while still lacking a clear bargain opportunity. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the stock is not undervalued enough to signal a buy nor overvalued enough to warrant a sell, aligning with a balanced stance.
