Is Danaos Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Danaos Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Danaos Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Danaos Corporation's P/E ratio
Danaos 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 3x. In other words, Danaos Corporation shares trade at around 3x 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.
Danaos Corporation's PEG ratio
Danaos Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.52. 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 Danaos 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.
Danaos Corporation's EBITDA
Danaos Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $679.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Danaos Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Danaos Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 11.04% of net profits
Recently Danaos Corporation has paid out, on average, around 11.04% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.77% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Danaos Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.77% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Danaos Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $3.15 per share.
While Danaos Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Danaos Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Danaos Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 19 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Danaos Corporation's shares ever split?
Danaos Corporation's shares were split on a 1:14 basis on 1 May 2019. So if you had owned 14 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Danaos Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Danaos Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Danaos Corporation's share price.
Danaos Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Danaos Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $60.4641 up to $97.4256. 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 Danaos Corporation's is 1.514. This would suggest that Danaos 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).
