Peter Lynch PEG Stock Screen — UK
Peter Lynch's rule of thumb: a fairly priced growth stock has a P/E about equal to its growth rate, so a PEG ratio (P/E divided by growth) below 1 can flag growth that the market has not paid for yet. This screen keeps profitable companies worth at least €200 million with a PEG between 0.1 and 1 and earnings growing at least 10%.
The rules of this screen
A stock listed in the UK appears below only if it passes every rule:
- PEG ratio (P/E divided by expected earnings growth) between 0.1 and 1
- Net profit margin of at least 5%
- Earnings growth of at least 10% year over year
- Market cap of at least €200 million
Data comes from company filings and market prices, refreshed after every trading day. Stocks with a missing value for any rule are left out.

The PEG uses analysts' growth estimates, which are often too optimistic, and one strong year of earnings can make it look cheap. Lynch also judged the story behind the numbers: what the company does and how long the growth can last.
This page lists the stocks that pass a set of rules. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of them, and past results of a strategy say nothing certain about future returns.
