Is Chart.Logistics overvalued or undervalued?

As of 18 September 2025, Chart.Logistics has moved from a very attractive to an attractive valuation grade. The company appears to be overvalued based on its current financial metrics. The PE ratio stands at 47.29, significantly higher than peers like Container Corporation, which has a PE of 32.29, and Aegis Logistics at 41.48. Additionally, the EV to EBITDA ratio for Chart.Logistics is 43.34, compared to the more reasonable 20.72 of Container Corporation, indicating a premium valuation that may not be justified by its earnings potential.
The company’s ROCE is only 2.53% and ROE is 3.35%, both of which are low relative to industry standards, suggesting inefficiencies in generating returns from capital. Furthermore, the PEG ratio is at 0.00, which typically indicates that the stock is not expected to grow, raising further concerns about its current valuation. Recent stock performance has been poor, with a year-to-date return of -33.12%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's 6.24% gain, further supporting the view that Chart.Logistics is overvalued in its current state.
