Is Ametek stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Ametek stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Ametek's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Ametek's P/E ratio
Ametek's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Ametek shares trade at around 30x 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.
Ametek's PEG ratio
Ametek's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6428. 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 Ametek's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Ametek's EBITDA
Ametek's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Ametek's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Ametek share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 16.23% of net profits
Recently Ametek has paid out, on average, around 16.23% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.66% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ametek shareholders could enjoy a 0.66% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ametek's case, that would currently equate to about $1.03 per share.
While Ametek's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Ametek is investing more in its future growth.
Ametek's most recent dividend payout was on 27 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Ametek's shares ever split?
Ametek's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 1 July 2012. 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 Ametek shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ametek shares which in turn could have impacted Ametek's share price.
Ametek share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Ametek's shares have ranged in value from as little as $136.2394 up to $186.03. 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 Ametek's is 1.181. This would suggest that Ametek's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
