Is MSA Safety stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing MSA Safety stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MSA Safety's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MSA Safety's P/E ratio
MSA Safety's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, MSA Safety shares trade at around 23x 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.
MSA Safety's PEG ratio
MSA Safety's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7. 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 MSA Safety's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

MSA Safety share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 26.92% of net profits
Recently MSA Safety 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), MSA Safety shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MSA Safety's case, that would currently equate to about $2.08 per share.
While MSA Safety's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that MSA Safety may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
MSA Safety's most recent dividend payout was on 9 December 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have MSA Safety's shares ever split?
MSA Safety's shares were
split on a 3:1 basis on 28 January 2004
. 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 MSA Safety shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MSA Safety shares which in turn could have impacted MSA Safety's share price.
MSA Safety share price volatility
