Is Macy’s stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Macy’s share dividends

13%

Dividend payout ratio: 13.21% of net profits

Recently Macy’s has paid out, on average, around 13.21% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.58% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Macy’s shareholders could enjoy a 3.58% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Macy’s's case, that would currently equate to about $0.63 per share.

While Macy’s's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Macy’s is investing more in its future growth.

Macy’s's most recent dividend payout was on 2 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Macy’s's shares ever split?

Macy’s's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 June 2006. 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 Macy’s shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Macy’s shares which in turn could have impacted Macy’s's share price.

Macy’s share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Macy’s's shares have ranged in value from as little as $14.8564 up to $26.4151. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

M.US volatility(beta: 1.86)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 Macy’s's is 1.8622. This would suggest that Macy’s's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
