Is Activision Blizzard stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Activision Blizzard stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Activision Blizzard's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Activision Blizzard's P/E ratio
Activision Blizzard's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 35x. In other words, Activision Blizzard shares trade at around 35x 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.
Activision Blizzard's PEG ratio
Activision Blizzard's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7987. 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 Activision Blizzard's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Activision Blizzard share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 27.89% of net profits
Recently Activision Blizzard 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), Activision Blizzard shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Activision Blizzard's case, that would currently equate to about $1.98 per share.
While Activision Blizzard's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Activision Blizzard may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Activision Blizzard's most recent dividend payout was on 16 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 July 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Activision Blizzard's shares ever split?
Activision Blizzard's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 7 September 2008 . 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 Activision Blizzard shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Activision Blizzard shares which in turn could have impacted Activision Blizzard's share price.
Activision Blizzard share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Activision Blizzard's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 Activision Blizzard's is 0.37. This would suggest that Activision Blizzard's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
