Valuing Scotts Miracle-Gro Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Scotts Miracle-Gro 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 7x. In other words, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shares trade at around 7x 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.
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.8865. 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 Scotts Miracle-Gro 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 49.72% of net profits
Recently Scotts Miracle-Gro Company has paid out, on average, around 49.72% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.99% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shareholders could enjoy a 4.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.64 per share.
While Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Scotts Miracle-Gro Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 10 November 2005. 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 Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shares which in turn could have impacted Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $49.21 up to $175.9297. 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 Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's is 1.2881. This would suggest that Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
