Is Aramark stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Aramark stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Aramark's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Aramark's P/E ratio
Aramark's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 60x. In other words, Aramark shares trade at around 60x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Aramark's PEG ratio
Aramark's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.57. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Aramark's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Aramark's EBITDA
Aramark's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Aramark's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Aramark share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 37.29% of net profits
Recently Aramark has paid out, on average, around 37.29% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.98% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Aramark shareholders could enjoy a 0.98% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Aramark's case, that would currently equate to about $0.44 per share.
While Aramark's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Aramark may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Aramark's most recent dividend payout was on 4 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Aramark share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Aramark's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.5777 up to $45.72. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Aramark's is 1.6526. This would suggest that Aramark's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
