Over the past month, Novartis Inc. (NYSE:<a class=\"ticker\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/quote\/NVS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">NVS<\/a>) stock increased by 15.64%, and in the past year, by 55.30%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.<\/p>\n<p>Comparing Novartis P\/E Against Its Peers<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The P\/E ratio measures the current share price to the company&#8217;s EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company&#8217;s current performance against it&#8217;s past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P\/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Compared to the aggregate P\/E ratio of the 126.45 in the Pharmaceuticals industry, Novartis Inc. has a lower P\/E ratio of 22.81. Shareholders might be inclined to think that  the stock might perform worse than it&#8217;s industry peers. It&#8217;s also possible that the stock is undervalued. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"text-sm my-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/apis?utm_source=benzinga.com&amp;utm_campaign=article-bottom\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright\">\u00a9 2026 Benzinga.com.
