Is Kraft Heinz stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Kraft Heinz stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Kraft Heinz's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Kraft Heinz's P/E ratio
Kraft Heinz's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 40x. In other words, Kraft Heinz shares trade at around 40x 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.
Kraft Heinz's PEG ratio
Kraft Heinz's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.8861. 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 Kraft Heinz's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Kraft Heinz share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 58.82% of net profits
Recently Kraft Heinz has paid out, on average, around 58.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Kraft Heinz shareholders could enjoy a 3.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kraft Heinz's case, that would currently equate to about $1.6 per share.
Kraft Heinz's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Kraft Heinz's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
