Is Bank of New York Mellon stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Bank of New York Mellon's P/E ratio

Bank of New York Mellon's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Bank of New York Mellon shares trade at around 18x 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.

Bank of New York Mellon's PEG ratio

Bank of New York Mellon's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0409. 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 Bank of New York Mellon's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bank of New York Mellon shareholders could enjoy a 2.96% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bank of New York Mellon's case, that would currently equate to about $1.42 per share.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bank of New York Mellon shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bank of New York Mellon shares which in turn could have impacted Bank of New York Mellon's share price.
