Is Sempra Energy stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Sempra Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sempra Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Sempra Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 47x. In other words, Sempra Energy shares trade at around 47x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Sempra Energy share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 53.45% of net profits
Recently Sempra Energy has paid out, on average, around 53.45% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.21% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sempra Energy shareholders could enjoy a 3.21% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sempra Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $4.445 per share.
Sempra Energy'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.
Sempra Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 14 July 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 July 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Sempra Energy's shares ever split?

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sempra Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sempra Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Sempra Energy's share price.
Sempra Energy share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Sempra Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $117.6853 up to $173.28. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
