For Energy stocks, a PEG ratio near 16.47 is typical. Imperial Oil Limited's 16.09 is lower that level. That is roughly 2.3% below the sector mean. Whether that is a warning or an opportunity depends on growth outlook and other fundamentals shown elsewhere on Stockcircle.

Imperial Oil Limited's PEG ratio of 16.09 comes from dividing a price-based measure by a related financial statistic. Changes can come from the stock price moving, the underlying fundamental shifting, or both. Track both the level and the trend — a rising multiple on falling fundamentals is a different story than a rising multiple on rising earnings.
