Is SLM stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing SLM stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of SLM's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
SLM's P/E ratio
SLM's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, SLM shares trade at around 10x 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.
SLM's PEG ratio
SLM's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5827. 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 SLM's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

SLM share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 18.25% of net profits
Recently SLM 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), SLM shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In SLM's case, that would currently equate to about $0.52 per share.
While SLM's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that SLM is investing more in its future growth.
SLM's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 December 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have SLM's shares ever split?
SLM's shares were
split on a 2798:1000 basis on 30 April 2014
. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2798 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your SLM shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 64.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for SLM shares which in turn could have impacted SLM's share price.
SLM share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, SLM's shares have ranged in value from as little as $23.6139 up to $34.8228. 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 SLM's is 1.153. This would suggest that SLM's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
