With a look at the enormous growth of Facebook, the initially seemingly high P/E ratio is put into perspective. With a PEG ratio, the stock even seems cheap. Facebook manages to grow faster in this industry than other public companies. The entire industry seems overrated, but Facebook can shine here in the rating due to its strong growth.
At first glance, the share of Facebook seems expensive, because the high P/E ratio is a deterrent. Here you have to consider the high P/E ratio in relation to the high growth figures of Facebook. It quickly becomes apparent that Facebook is actually still rated cheap. The fair value analysis also confirms that Facebook shares are around 50% undervalued.
The quality of the company is undisputedly excellent. Facebook has a monopoly position in the field of social networks and is the undisputed number 1. Since the users on Facebook are closely networked, it is almost impossible to copy Facebook's business model. This is also proven by Google's attempt to found a social network that has already been discontinued. So you can't access a competitor's product quickly. In addition, Facebook has a lot in the pipeline with various payment services and innovative products. The market in which Facebook moves is almost limitless. Short-term irritations such as the US presidential election or the accusation of misinformation could damage Facebook for a short time, but in our opinion these are only short-term problems to which there are definitely solutions.
The share of Facebook should therefore develop by a factor of 1.4 better than the overall market and reach the target price of 400.
