Is Eli Lilly stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Eli Lilly's P/E ratio

Eli Lilly's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 81x. In other words, Eli Lilly shares trade at around 81x 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.

Eli Lilly's PEG ratio

Eli Lilly's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7. 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 Eli Lilly's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Eli Lilly's EBITDA

Eli Lilly's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $16.6 billion.

Eli Lilly stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 53.1% of net profits

Recently Eli Lilly 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), Eli Lilly shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eli Lilly's case, that would currently equate to about $5.03 per share.

Eli Lilly'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.

Eli Lilly's most recent dividend payout was on 9 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 13 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Eli Lilly's stocks ever split?

Eli Lilly's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 October 1997 . 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 Eli Lilly stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Eli Lilly stocks, which in turn could have impacted Eli Lilly's stock price.

Eli Lilly stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Eli Lilly's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $610.8333 up to $970.9219. 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 Eli Lilly's is 0.43. This would suggest that Eli Lilly's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
