Valuing Johnson-and-Johnson stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Johnson-and-Johnson's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Johnson-and-Johnson'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, Johnson-and-Johnson 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.
Johnson-and-Johnson's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7929. 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 Johnson-and-Johnson'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: 36.78% of net profits
Recently Johnson-and-Johnson has paid out, on average, around 36.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.69% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Johnson-and-Johnson shareholders could enjoy a 2.69% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Johnson-and-Johnson's case, that would currently equate to about $4.45 per share.
While Johnson-and-Johnson's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Johnson-and-Johnson may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Johnson-and-Johnson's most recent dividend payout was on 6 March 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Johnson-and-Johnson's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 June 2001. 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 Johnson-and-Johnson shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Johnson-and-Johnson shares which in turn could have impacted Johnson-and-Johnson's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Johnson-and-Johnson's shares have ranged in value from as little as $152.7074 up to $183.0782. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
