Is Rolls-Royce under- or over-valued?

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

Rolls-Royce's PEG ratio

Rolls-Royce's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.4926. 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 Rolls-Royce's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Rolls-Royce share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 6.67% of net profits

Recently Rolls-Royce has paid out, on average, around 6.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.61% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Rolls-Royce shareholders could enjoy a 5.61% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rolls-Royce's case, that would currently equate to about $0.155 per share.

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

Rolls-Royce's most recent dividend payout was on 30 November 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Rolls-Royce's shares ever split?

Rolls-Royce's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 27 August 2015. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rolls-Royce shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rolls-Royce shares which in turn could have impacted Rolls-Royce's share price.

Rolls-Royce share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Rolls-Royce's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.5818 up to $2.54. 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 (PINK average) beta is 1, while Rolls-Royce's is 1.8809. This would suggest that Rolls-Royce's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
