Is PEG still cheap?

PEG appears to be overvalued by 59% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! The intrinsic value of the stock is $19.28, but it is currently valued by the market at $46.52. In addition to this, it seems like PEG’s share price is quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to fall back down to an attractive buying range, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because PEG’s stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
