Is BGC overvalued in 2026?
BGC Group Inc. (BGC) currently trades at $10.89 per share with a market capitalization of $5,408,624,000.00. Based on our multi-factor framework, the stock appears richly valued with a Smart Value Score of 46/100. This score blends growth quality, financial health, and price attractiveness into a single institutional-grade read.
The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 36.4x, above its 5-year median of 35.4x. The PEG ratio of 3.60 indicates the price has run ahead of the underlying growth rate.
Looking at its own history, BGC is currently trading more expensive than 64% of the last 5Y on P/E. This places it in the 64th percentile of its historical range, a reasonable but unremarkable position.
A standard DCF model does not produce reliable output for BGC under current conditions. For unprofitable or near-breakeven companies, revenue-based multiples such as EV/Sales and historical P/S percentile are more informative than intrinsic value calculations.
Balance sheet and operating quality look strong. A Piotroski F-Score of 7/9 points to improving profitability, declining leverage, and healthy operating efficiency.
Bottom line: BGC appears richly valued on our framework, with a Smart Value Score of 46/100. At current levels the risk/reward is skewed against the buyer. A materially lower price or significant operational improvement would be needed to change the picture.
