Is Worthington Industries stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Worthington Industries stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Worthington Industries's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Worthington Industries's P/E ratio

Worthington Industries's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 69x. In other words, Worthington Industries shares trade at around 69x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Worthington Industries's PEG ratio

Worthington Industries's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.35. 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 Worthington Industries's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Worthington Industries's EBITDA

Worthington Industries's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $82.3 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Worthington Industries's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Worthington Industries share dividends

16%

Dividend payout ratio: 16.32% of net profits

Recently Worthington Industries has paid out, on average, around 16.32% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.4% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Worthington Industries shareholders could enjoy a 1.4% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Worthington Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.96 per share.

While Worthington Industries's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Worthington Industries is investing more in its future growth.

Worthington Industries's most recent dividend payout was on 26 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Worthington Industries's shares ever split?

Worthington Industries's shares were split on a 1622:1000 basis on 30 November 2023. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1622 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Worthington Industries shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 38.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Worthington Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Worthington Industries's share price.

Worthington Industries share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Worthington Industries's shares have ranged in value from as little as $35.9034 up to $69.7478. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

WOR.US volatility(beta: 1.22)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Worthington Industries's is 1.218. This would suggest that Worthington Industries'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).
