Is Balchem Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Balchem Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Balchem Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Balchem Corporation share dividends

18%

Dividend payout ratio: 18.02% of net profits

Recently Balchem Corporation has paid out, on average, around 18.02% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Balchem Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Balchem Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.71 per share.

While Balchem Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Balchem Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

Balchem Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 19 January 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 22 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Balchem Corporation's shares ever split?

Balchem Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 20 January 2010. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Balchem Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Balchem Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Balchem Corporation's share price.

Balchem Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Balchem Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $116.675 up to $143.68. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

BCPC.US volatility(beta: 0.7)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Balchem Corporation's is 0.6974. This would suggest that Balchem Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
