Using the PEG framework with analyst consensus forward EPS growth of 8.0% plus 2.8% dividend yield, W. R. Berkley Corporation has a fair value of $36.43 based on NTM EPS (FY2026) of $4.55. The current PEG ratio is 1.98.
PEG < 1 = bargain, 1–1.5 = fair, > 2 = expensive.
PEG tends to undervalue slow growers — consider dividend yield and asset value instead.

The PEG Fair Value uses the Price/Earnings-to-Growth framework. A stock is fairly valued when its P/E ratio equals its earnings growth rate (PEG = 1.0). This model adds dividend yield to the growth rate per the original PEGY formula.
Growth rate priority: analyst consensus forward EPS CAGR (when ≥ 3 analysts cover the stock), falling back to historical EPS CAGR. Using EPS rather than net income avoids distortion from share buybacks. The growth rate is clamped between 8% and 25% — below 8% would undervalue stable earners, while above 25% would overvalue unsustainable spikes.
