Valuing La-Z-Boy Incorporated stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of La-Z-Boy Incorporated's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
La-Z-Boy Incorporated's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, La-Z-Boy Incorporated shares trade at around 15x 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.
La-Z-Boy Incorporated's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.01. 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 La-Z-Boy Incorporated's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
La-Z-Boy Incorporated's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $207.5 million.

Dividend payout ratio: 26.85% of net profits
Recently La-Z-Boy Incorporated has paid out, on average, around 26.85% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.98% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), La-Z-Boy Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 1.98% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In La-Z-Boy Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $0.782 per share.
While La-Z-Boy Incorporated's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that La-Z-Boy Incorporated may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
La-Z-Boy Incorporated's most recent dividend payout was on 15 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
La-Z-Boy Incorporated's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 14 September 1998. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your La-Z-Boy Incorporated shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for La-Z-Boy Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted La-Z-Boy Incorporated's share price.
Over the last 12 months, La-Z-Boy Incorporated's shares have ranged in value from as little as $27.3377 up to $45.0091. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

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