| | PEG ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One reason investors may prefer the PEG ratio over measures such as earnings, revenues, tangible assets, or book value to price (market cap) is that such measures do not account for a company's potential for growth. | | | In finance, a PEG ratio is a financial ratio of a company. | | | Additionally, the PEG ratio is often considered less appropriate for measuring income investments. |
