On this page we presented the FA PE Ratio History information for First Advantage' stock.
The average FA PE ratio history based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 15.6. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average FA PE ratio history based on this TTM earnings result method is 17.6.
Let's now compare this FA PE ratio history result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 4/18/2024, the most recent closing price for FA had been 14.86, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 1.16. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 1. From these numbers, we calculate the recent FA PE on 4/18/2024 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 12.8. Based on FA's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 17.9% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for First Advantage. Looking at the recent FA PE on 4/18/2024 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 14.9. Based on FA's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 15.3% lower than the average PE across our First Advantage data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.
Another interesting FA PE ratio history calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for FA, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for FA, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.19, 0.24, 0.28, and 0.29. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.24 and 0.28 — which gives us the median of 0.26. Basically the way to think about this 0.26 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.26 marks the "middle ground" number where FA has reported a value higher than 0.26 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 0.26 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 1.04/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 14.86 as the numerator (as of 4/18/2024), the calculation is then 14.86 / 1.04 = 14.3 as the FA PE ratio as of 4/18/2024, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
