For Healthcare stocks, a PEG ratio near 2.89 is typical. Atyr Pharma's 27.61 is higher that level. That is roughly 855.2% above the sector mean. Whether that is a warning or an opportunity depends on growth outlook and other fundamentals shown elsewhere on Stockcircle.

Atyr Pharma's PEG ratio of 27.61 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.
