Is Lincoln Electric stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Lincoln Electric stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Lincoln Electric's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Lincoln Electric's P/E ratio
Lincoln Electric's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, Lincoln Electric shares trade at around 26x 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.
Lincoln Electric's PEG ratio
Lincoln Electric's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5543. 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 Lincoln Electric's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Lincoln Electric share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 30.61% of net profits
Recently Lincoln Electric has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Lincoln Electric shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lincoln Electric's case, that would currently equate to about $3 per share.
While Lincoln Electric's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Lincoln Electric may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Lincoln Electric's most recent dividend payout was on 14 January 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 December 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Lincoln Electric's shares ever split?
Lincoln Electric's shares were
split on a 2:1 basis on 31 May 2011
. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lincoln Electric shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lincoln Electric shares which in turn could have impacted Lincoln Electric's share price.
Lincoln Electric share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Lincoln Electric's shares have ranged in value from as little as $160.0191 up to $248.3928. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Lincoln Electric's is 1.259.
