PEG is not a mathematical relationship (be very suspicious of any of these rules of thumb which don't incorporate interest rates). It is often misused - there is a VERY big difference in valuation between something expected to grow 15% next year and something that can grow 15% for the next 10 years. When used right, PEG is a starting point for finding some interesting Peter Lynch type stuff. It is also the starting point for finding some of the worst investments you can make. I no longer look at PEG per se - I tend to focus more on the relationship between return on equity and price/book value. But that captures many of the same names mas a PEG screen would. JJC JJC
