General Motors Company stock dividends

General Motors Company dividend payout ratio: 5.68% of net profits

Recently General Motors Company has paid out, on average, around 5.68% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.82% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), General Motors Company shareholders could enjoy a 0.82% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In General Motors Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.54 per share.

General Motors Company stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for General Motors Company stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• General Motors Company's P/E ratio

  General Motors Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 13x. In other words, General Motors Company shares trade at around 13 times 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.

• General Motors Company's PEG ratio

  General Motors Company's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 1.5607. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in General Motors Company's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• General Motors Company's EBITDA

  General Motors Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $15.7 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.
