Is Delta Air Lines under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Delta Air Lines P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Delta Air Lines's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Delta Air Lines stocks trade at around 8x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of September 24, 2023 (21.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Delta Air Lines's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 23.1559. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Delta Air Lines's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Delta Air Lines's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $7 billion ($9.6 billion CAD).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Delta Air Lines's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Delta Air Lines has paid out, on average, around 1.69% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.09% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.09% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Delta Air Lines's case, that would currently equate to about 0.1 per share.
While Delta Air Lines's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
