P/E Growth Ratio (PEG)
Definition of P/E Growth Ratio (PEG)
The Price to Earnings Growth (PEG) Ratio is an extension of the traditional P/E ratio, which takes into account the expected earnings growth rate. It is popular in the Indian market for evaluating equity growth stocks. The formula is: PEG Ratio = P/E Ratio/Annual EPS Growth Rate. A PEG ratio of 1 or less is often seen as an indicator that a stock is fairly valued or undervalued relative to the expected growth rate of the stock. A lower PEG implies a better value proposition because investors are paying less for every unit of future earnings growth.

Pre-IPO
Pre-IPO (or Pre-Initial Public Offering) refers to the phase of a company where it raises capital by selling its shares to private investors (such as venture capitalists, private equity firms, or institutional investors) before officially going public with an IPO. These shares are bought at a discount to the expected IPO price. Investing in pre-IPO shares is for experienced investors because the shares are illiquid and have a high risk, but have the potential for high returns if the company performs well after listing.

Leverage In Stock Market
Leverage is a loan that a broker offers to allow traders to take up bigger positions by paying lesser capital. This feature is known as Margin Trading Facility (MTF) or simply margin funding. Leverage is often represented as a multiple like 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X and so on. For example, getting 5X leverage on a trade worth ₹1,00,000 means you’ll pay ₹20,000 and the broker will cover the rest of the ₹80,000.

Technical Analysis
Technical analysis refers to the study of past price movements of a stock and trading volumes. This type of analysis is used by investors and traders to predict price trends in the future. The evaluation is carried out based on charts, patterns, and indicators like moving averages or RSI. Investors and traders can make informed decisions based on technical analysis. It differs from fundamental analysis as the focus lies on price behavior and not the financials of the company. As a result, investors get to know easy entry and exit points.
