Introduction

This article identifies the 10 AI stocks that still exhibit more room to run in 2024 based on their current excellent Price-to-Earnings (1-year) Growth (PEG) Ratio valuation metrics. 


Why the PEG Ratio?

Given that growth is a key component of a stock's expected return, the PEG ratio provides a simple way for investors to see how cheap a stock is relative to its growth rate and to compare a stock to its competitors. The lower the PEG ratio - lower than 1.0 is best - the more the stock may be undervalued given its future earnings expectations while a ratio between 1.0 and 2.0 suggests a stock is overvalued.

The PEG ratio should be used along with the balance sheet, debt burden, and cash flow, or other valuation metrics that use the income statement. It's also important to understand things like a company's competitive advantage, its addressable market, and its long-term growth prospects.
