Is Pearson PLC ADR stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Pearson PLC ADR stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Pearson PLC ADR's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.
Pearson PLC ADR's PEG ratio

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Pearson PLC ADR's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Pearson PLC ADR share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 119.2% of net profits
Recently Pearson PLC ADR has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Pearson PLC ADR shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Pearson PLC ADR's case, that would currently equate to about $0.244 per share.
Pearson PLC ADR's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Pearson PLC ADR's most recent dividend payout was on 21 September 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 August 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Pearson PLC ADR's is -0.066. This would suggest that Pearson PLC ADR's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Pearson PLC ADR has bucked the trend.
