Is KKR Real Estate Finance Trust stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's P/E ratio

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 57x. In other words, KKR Real Estate Finance Trust shares trade at around 57x 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.

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's PEG ratio

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.13. 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 KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 647.62% of net profits

Recently KKR Real Estate Finance Trust has paid out, on average, around 647.62% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.35% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), KKR Real Estate Finance Trust shareholders could enjoy a 8.35% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's case, that would currently equate to about $1.36 per share.

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust'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.

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's most recent dividend payout was on 14 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.4501 up to $12.7217. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

KREF.US volatility(beta: 1.02)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's is 1.023. This would suggest that KKR Real Estate Finance Trust'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).
