Is Cameco stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Operating margin TTM 13.21%
Gross profit TTM $629.1 million
Return on assets TTM 2.21%
Return on equity TTM 309.87%

Cameco share dividends

16%

Dividend payout ratio: 15.51% of net profits

Recently Cameco has paid out, on average, around 15.51% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.29% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Cameco shareholders could enjoy a 0.29% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cameco's case, that would currently equate to about $0.12 per share.

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

Cameco's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Cameco's shares ever split?

Cameco's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 23 February 2006. 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 Cameco shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cameco shares which in turn could have impacted Cameco's share price.

Cameco share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Cameco's shares have ranged in value from as little as $20.2621 up to $31.1701. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

CCJ.US volatility(beta: 0.95)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Cameco's is 0.9489. This would suggest that Cameco's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
