Is LKQ Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing LKQ Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of LKQ Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
LKQ Corporation's P/E ratio
LKQ 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 14x. In other words, LKQ Corporation shares trade at around 14x 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.
LKQ Corporation's PEG ratio
LKQ Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.205. 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 LKQ 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.
LKQ Corporation's EBITDA
LKQ Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.7 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a LKQ Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

LKQ Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 34.09% of net profits
Recently LKQ Corporation 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), LKQ Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In LKQ Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.2 per share.
While LKQ Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that LKQ Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
LKQ Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 26 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have LKQ Corporation's shares ever split?
LKQ Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 September 2012 . 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 LKQ Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for LKQ Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted LKQ Corporation's share price.
LKQ Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, LKQ Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $35.2991 up to $52.9098. 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 LKQ Corporation's is 1.281. This would suggest that LKQ 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).
