For Healthcare stocks, a PEG ratio near 11.77 is typical. Qiagen NV's 313.23 is higher that level. That is roughly 2560.8% above the sector mean. Whether that is a warning or an opportunity depends on growth outlook and other fundamentals shown elsewhere on Stockcircle.

Qiagen NV's PEG ratio of 313.23 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.
