<p>Looking into the current session, <strong>LKQ Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LKQ#NASDAQ">LKQ</a>)</strong> shares are trading at $38.76, after a <strong>0.68%</strong> increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock went up by <strong>3.02%</strong>, but in the past year, decreased by <strong>14.39%</strong>. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. </p>

<h3>How Does LKQ P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>LKQ has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>17.29</strong> of the Distributors industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732542306_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
