"While there are many excellent metrics to consider for the future of stock performance, the one that I weigh the most heavily is the price-earnings to growth ratio. I prefer the PEG ratio because it considers the expected growth rate, where simple P/E calculation doesn't consider that. This calculation is specifically great when looking at a wide array of companies within an industry to level their playing field."
