Moog (MOG.A) Stock May Be Fully Priced After Strong Q2 Earnings

Moog has delivered a powerful multi year run, even after a recent pullback, which puts a spotlight on a simple question for anyone looking at the stock today. Do the current earnings of this aerospace and defense supplier do enough to support where the share price now sits?

• Over the past 5 years, Moog has returned about 370.7%, which makes the link between its share price and its earnings power especially important for new money considering the stock.

• Recent strong earnings and higher profit expectations suggest the business can potentially sustain a higher level of earnings, which matters for how investors think about what they are willing to pay per dollar of profit.

Has Moog Run Too Far on Earnings?

The P/E ratio is a useful way to think about Moog because earnings are a key focus for investors in established aerospace and defense suppliers. Moog trades on a P/E of 28.7x, which is above both the Aerospace & Defense sector average of 31.5x and the peer group average of 23.0x, so the stock is priced at a premium to similar businesses on earnings.

That premium sits above the level suggested by a more tailored fair P/E that adjusts for Moog's growth profile, profitability and risk, which points to the shares looking overvalued on this metric. Despite a strong Q2 where Moog beat revenue and EPS forecasts and raised full year guidance, the recent share price still implies investors are willing to pay more per dollar of profit than both peers and the model would suggest.
