Valuing MGE Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MGE Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MGE Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, MGE Energy shares trade at around 25x 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.
MGE Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $246 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a MGE Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 25.75% of net profits
Recently MGE Energy has paid out, on average, around 25.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MGE Energy shareholders could enjoy a 2.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MGE Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $1.69 per share.
While MGE Energy's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that MGE Energy may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
MGE Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 14 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
MGE Energy's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 9 February 2014. So if you had owned 2 shares 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 MGE Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MGE Energy shares which in turn could have impacted MGE Energy's share price.
Over the last 12 months, MGE Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $61.3355 up to $86.2. 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 MGE Energy's is 0.693. This would suggest that MGE Energy's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
