Is Universal Insurance stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Universal Insurance stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Universal Insurance's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Universal Insurance's P/E ratio
Universal Insurance's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 37x. In other words, Universal Insurance shares trade at around 37x 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.
Universal Insurance's EBITDA

The EBITDA is a measure of a Universal Insurance's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Universal Insurance share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 1.97% of net profits
Recently Universal Insurance has paid out, on average, around 1.97% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.9% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Universal Insurance shareholders could enjoy a 4.9% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Universal Insurance's case, that would currently equate to about $0.64 per share.
While Universal Insurance's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Universal Insurance is investing more in its future growth.
Universal Insurance's most recent dividend payout was on 19 May 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Universal Insurance's shares ever split?
Universal Insurance's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 5 December 1994. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Universal Insurance shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Universal Insurance shares which in turn could have impacted Universal Insurance's share price.
Universal Insurance share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Universal Insurance's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.2529 up to $19.1349. 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 Universal Insurance's is 1.093. This would suggest that Universal Insurance's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
