Is Cummins stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Cummins's P/E ratio

Cummins's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Cummins shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

Cummins's PEG ratio

Cummins's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7336. 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 Cummins's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Cummins's EBITDA

Cummins's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.6 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Cummins's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Cummins's environmental, social and governance track record

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Cummins is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Cummins stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 33.73% of net profits

Recently Cummins has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Cummins shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cummins's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

While Cummins's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Cummins may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Cummins's most recent dividend payout was on 4 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 21 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Cummins's stocks ever split?

Cummins's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 January 2008 . 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 Cummins stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Cummins stocks, which in turn could have impacted Cummins's stock price.

Cummins stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Cummins's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $245.1487 up to $387.9. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Cummins's is 0.971. This would suggest that Cummins's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
