Is Broadcom stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Broadcom stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Broadcom's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Broadcom's P/E ratio
Broadcom's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 138x. In other words, Broadcom shares trade at around 138x 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 stock or simply that they're over-valued.
Broadcom's PEG ratio
Broadcom's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1808. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Broadcom's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Broadcom's EBITDA
Broadcom's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $23 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Broadcom's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Broadcom stock dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 61.28% of net profits
Recently Broadcom has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Broadcom shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Broadcom's case, that would currently equate to about $2.105 per share.
Broadcom'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.
Broadcom's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 18 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Broadcom's stocks ever split?
Broadcom's stocks were split on a 10:1 basis on 14 July 2024 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Broadcom stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Broadcom stocks, which in turn could have impacted Broadcom's stock price.
Broadcom stock price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Broadcom's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $89.6709 up to $186.42. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."
Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Broadcom's is 1.187. This would suggest that Broadcom's stocks 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).
