Is Houlihan Lokey stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Houlihan Lokey stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Houlihan Lokey's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Houlihan Lokey's P/E ratio
Houlihan Lokey'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, Houlihan Lokey 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.
Houlihan Lokey's PEG ratio
Houlihan Lokey's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.54. 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 Houlihan Lokey's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Houlihan Lokey share dividends

Recently Houlihan Lokey has paid out, on average, around 42.71% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Houlihan Lokey shareholders could enjoy a 2.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Houlihan Lokey's case, that would currently equate to about $1.92 per share.
While Houlihan Lokey's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Houlihan Lokey may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Houlihan Lokey's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
