Is FLIR Systems stock undervalued or overvalued?

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.

FLIR Systems share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 26.67% of net profits

Recently FLIR Systems has paid out, on average, around 26.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.19% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), FLIR Systems shareholders could enjoy a 1.19% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In FLIR Systems's case, that would currently equate to about $0.68 per share.

While FLIR Systems's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that FLIR Systems may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

FLIR Systems's most recent dividend payout was on 3 June 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 May 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have FLIR Systems's shares ever split?

FLIR Systems's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 10 December 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your FLIR Systems shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for FLIR Systems shares which in turn could have impacted FLIR Systems's share price.

FLIR Systems share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, FLIR Systems's shares have ranged in value from as little as $51.6554 up to $60.66. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while FLIR Systems's is 1.5583. This would suggest that FLIR Systems's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
