Is Yum China stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Yum China stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Yum China's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Yum China's P/E ratio
Yum China's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Yum China shares trade at around 30x 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.
Yum China's PEG ratio
Yum China's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.4771. 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 Yum China's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Yum China's EBITDA

Yum China share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 50% of net profits
Recently Yum China has paid out, on average, around 50% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.78% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Yum China shareholders could enjoy a 0.78% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Yum China's case, that would currently equate to about $0.48 per share.
Yum China'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.
Yum China's most recent dividend payout was on 19 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Yum China share price volatility

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Yum China's is 0.503. This would suggest that Yum China's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
