Valuing Kellogg Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Kellogg Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Kellogg Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Kellogg Company shares trade at around 16x 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.
Kellogg Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.1066. 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 Kellogg Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Kellogg Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.5 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 55.77% of net profits
Recently Kellogg Company has paid out, on average, around 55.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.23% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Kellogg Company shareholders could enjoy a 3.23% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kellogg Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.32 per share.
Kellogg Company'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.
Kellogg Company's most recent dividend payout was on 14 June 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Kellogg Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 24 August 1997. 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 Kellogg Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kellogg Company shares which in turn could have impacted Kellogg Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Kellogg Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $59.0448 up to $74.9316. 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 Kellogg Company's is 0.4773. This would suggest that Kellogg Company's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
