Valuing Best Buy Co stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Best Buy Co's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Best Buy Co's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Best Buy Co shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Best Buy Co's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6858. 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 Best Buy Co's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 30.56% of net profits
Recently Best Buy Co has paid out, on average, around 30.56% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.26% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Best Buy Co shareholders could enjoy a 4.26% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Best Buy Co's case, that would currently equate to about $3.52 per share.
While Best Buy Co's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Best Buy Co may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Best Buy Co's most recent dividend payout was on 3 January 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Best Buy Co's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 4 August 2005. 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 Best Buy Co shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Best Buy Co shares which in turn could have impacted Best Buy Co's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Best Buy Co's shares have ranged in value from as little as $60.1312 up to $108.0865. 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 Best Buy Co's is 1.5103. This would suggest that Best Buy Co's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
