Is Kaiser Aluminum Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Kaiser Aluminum Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's P/E ratio

Kaiser Aluminum 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 19x. In other words, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation shares trade at around 19x 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.

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's PEG ratio

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.24. 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 Kaiser Aluminum 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.

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's EBITDA

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $260.5 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation share dividends

64%

Dividend payout ratio: 63.64% of net profits

Recently Kaiser Aluminum Corporation has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Kaiser Aluminum Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $3.08 per share.

Kaiser Aluminum 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.

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 13 November 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 October 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $45.4447 up to $106.155. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

KALU.US volatility(beta: 1.51)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's is 1.512. This would suggest that Kaiser Aluminum 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).
