Is Sempra Energy stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Sempra Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sempra Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sempra Energy's P/E ratio
Sempra Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Sempra Energy shares trade at around 18x 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.
Sempra Energy's PEG ratio
Sempra Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9627. 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 Sempra Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Sempra Energy stock dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 79.49% of net profits
Recently Sempra Energy 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), Sempra Energy shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sempra Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $2.45 per share.
Sempra Energy'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.
Sempra Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 14 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 4 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Sempra Energy's stocks ever split?
Sempra Energy's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 21 August 2023 . 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 Sempra Energy stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Sempra Energy stocks, which in turn could have impacted Sempra Energy's stock price.
Sempra Energy stock price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Sempra Energy's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $64.9242 up to $95.121. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."
