You are obviously using PEG to decide on stock valuations. This method is flawed because it fails to take into account such niceties as long-term interest rates and the perceived riskiness of growth. In addition, the assumed long-term growth rate is quite iffy.

To obviate this problem I have come up with a variant of PEG called CNPEG (Chuzzlewit's Normalized PEG) which obviates the long-term interest rate problem by normalizing the result relative to the S&P 500. All you need to do is to calculate the PEG value of the S&P 500 and divide the PEG for TLAB by this number. The PEG for the S&P was around 3 when I last checked it (about a month ago).

Let's assume that the growth rate of TLAB is 35%, and that it is trading at a P/E of 49. That would yield a PEG of 1.4. But normalizing using the S&P PEG of 3.0 yields a CNPEG of 0.47. Thus, relative to the market growth is cheaper with TLAB. In other words, TLAB would be a buy.
