Valuing CMS Energy Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CMS Energy Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CMS Energy 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 21x. In other words, CMS Energy Corporation shares trade at around 21x 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.
CMS Energy Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6378. 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 CMS Energy 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.
CMS Energy Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CMS Energy Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 61.78% of net profits
Recently CMS Energy Corporation has paid out, on average, around 61.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CMS Energy Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CMS Energy Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.005 per share.
CMS Energy Corporation's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
CMS Energy Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 29 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
