Valuing International Business Machines Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of International Business Machines Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
International Business Machines Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, International Business Machines Corporation shares trade at around 25x 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.
International Business Machines Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1541. 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 International Business Machines Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 72.84% of net profits
Recently International Business Machines Corporation has paid out, on average, around 72.84% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.89% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), International Business Machines Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 4.89% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In International Business Machines Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $6.54 per share.
International Business Machines Corporation'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.
International Business Machines Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 9 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
International Business Machines Corporation's shares were split on a 1046:1000 basis on 3 November 2021. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1046 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your International Business Machines Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for International Business Machines Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted International Business Machines Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, International Business Machines Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $106.7282 up to $142.4251. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while International Business Machines Corporation's is 1.1292. This would suggest that International Business Machines Corporation'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).
