Is PPL Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

PPL Corporation share dividends

65%

Dividend payout ratio: 64.73% of net profits

Recently PPL Corporation has paid out, on average, around 64.73% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), PPL Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PPL Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.93 per share.

PPL 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.

PPL Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 1 October 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have PPL Corporation's shares ever split?

PPL Corporation's shares were split on a 10000:9314 basis on 1 June 2015. So if you had owned 9314 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your PPL Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for PPL Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted PPL Corporation's share price.

PPL Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, PPL Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $22.6458 up to $30.8716. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

PPL.US volatility(beta: 0.81)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 PPL Corporation's is 0.8081. This would suggest that PPL Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
