Is HP stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Gross profit TTM $12.3 billion
Return on assets TTM 7.94%
Return on equity TTM 0%
Profit margin 0%

HP share dividends

30%

Dividend payout ratio: 30.16% of net profits

Recently HP has paid out, on average, around 30.16% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.39% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), HP shareholders could enjoy a 3.39% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In HP's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

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

HP's most recent dividend payout was on 5 July 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have HP's shares ever split?

HP's shares were split on a 2202:1000 basis on 2 November 2015. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2202 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your HP shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 54.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for HP shares which in turn could have impacted HP's share price.

HP share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, HP's shares have ranged in value from as little as $23.6429 up to $39.2539. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

HPQ.US volatility(beta: 1.02)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while HP's is 1.0155. This would suggest that HP's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
