Is WEC Energy Group stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing WEC Energy Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of WEC Energy Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
WEC Energy Group's P/E ratio
WEC Energy Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, WEC Energy Group shares trade at around 22x 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.
WEC Energy Group's PEG ratio
WEC Energy Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.8228. 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 WEC Energy Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
WEC Energy Group's EBITDA
WEC Energy Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a WEC Energy Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

WEC Energy Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 69.3% of net profits
Recently WEC Energy Group has paid out, on average, around 69.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), WEC Energy Group shareholders could enjoy a 3.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In WEC Energy Group's case, that would currently equate to about $3.23 per share.
WEC Energy Group'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.
WEC Energy Group's most recent dividend payout was on 31 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have WEC Energy Group's shares ever split?
WEC Energy Group's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 March 2011 . 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 WEC Energy Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for WEC Energy Group shares which in turn could have impacted WEC Energy Group's share price.
WEC Energy Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, WEC Energy Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $73.7011 up to $98.04. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while WEC Energy Group's is 0.437. This would suggest that WEC Energy Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
