Is General Motors Company 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 General Motors Company P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
General Motors Company's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, General Motors Company stocks trade at around 6x 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 November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
General Motors Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7556. 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 General Motors Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
General Motors Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $15.8 billion ($21.8 billion CAD).
The EBITDA is a measure of a General Motors Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.08% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 5.1% of net profits
General Motors Company has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.08% of its share value annually.
General Motors Company has paid out, on average, around 5.1% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.08% 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 1.08% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In General Motors Company's case, that would currently equate to about 0.36 per share.
While General Motors Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
General Motors Company's most recent dividend payout was on 13 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
