Valuing Carpenter Technology Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Carpenter Technology Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Carpenter Technology Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 42x. In other words, Carpenter Technology Corporation shares trade at around 42x 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.
Carpenter Technology Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5913. 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 Carpenter Technology Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Recently Carpenter Technology Corporation 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), Carpenter Technology Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Carpenter Technology Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
While Carpenter Technology Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Carpenter Technology Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Carpenter Technology Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 4 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Carpenter Technology Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 November 2007 . 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 Carpenter Technology Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Carpenter Technology Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Carpenter Technology Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Carpenter Technology Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $58.6359 up to $166.51. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Carpenter Technology Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
