Is American Financial Group stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing American Financial Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of American Financial Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
American Financial Group's P/E ratio
American Financial Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, American Financial Group shares trade at around 12x 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 shares or simply that they're under-valued.
American Financial Group's PEG ratio
American Financial Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.78. 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 American Financial Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
American Financial Group's EBITDA
American Financial Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.3 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a American Financial Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

American Financial Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 44.39% of net profits
Recently American Financial Group has paid out, on average, around 44.39% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.27% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), American Financial Group shareholders could enjoy a 2.27% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In American Financial Group's case, that would currently equate to about $2.76 per share.
While American Financial Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that American Financial Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
American Financial Group's most recent dividend payout was on 24 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have American Financial Group's shares ever split?
American Financial Group's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 17 December 2006. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your American Financial Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for American Financial Group shares which in turn could have impacted American Financial Group's share price.
American Financial Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, American Financial Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $99.9228 up to $136.1858. 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 American Financial Group's is 0.772. This would suggest that American Financial Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
