UnitedHealth Group Incorporated stock dividends

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated dividend payout ratio: 41.72% of net profits

Recently UnitedHealth Group Incorporated has paid out, on average, around 41.72% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.65% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), UnitedHealth Group Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 2.65% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In UnitedHealth Group Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $8.62 per share.

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

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated stock performance metrics

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

• UnitedHealth Group Incorporated's P/E ratio

  UnitedHealth Group Incorporated'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 17x. In other words, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated shares trade at around 17 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.

• UnitedHealth Group Incorporated's PEG ratio

  UnitedHealth Group Incorporated's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 1.3526. 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 UnitedHealth Group Incorporated's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• UnitedHealth Group Incorporated's EBITDA

  UnitedHealth Group Incorporated's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $29.2 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.
