Is Alcon stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Alcon stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Alcon's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Alcon's P/E ratio
Alcon's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 38x. In other words, Alcon shares trade at around 38x 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 shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Alcon's PEG ratio
Alcon's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1918. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Alcon's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Alcon's EBITDA
Alcon's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.5 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Alcon's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Alcon share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 11.7% of net profits
Recently Alcon 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), Alcon shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Alcon's case, that would currently equate to about $0.309 per share.
While Alcon's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Alcon is investing more in its future growth.
Alcon's most recent dividend payout was on 14 May 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 May 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Alcon share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Alcon's shares have ranged in value from as little as $71.55 up to $98.8453. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Alcon's is 0.694. This would suggest that Alcon's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
