Is Synchrony Financial stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Synchrony Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Synchrony Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Synchrony Financial's P/E ratio
Synchrony Financial's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Synchrony Financial shares trade at around 7x 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.
Synchrony Financial's PEG ratio
Synchrony Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6241. 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 Synchrony Financial's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Synchrony Financial share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 13.89% of net profits
Recently Synchrony Financial has paid out, on average, around 13.89% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.94% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Synchrony Financial shareholders could enjoy a 1.94% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Synchrony Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.
While Synchrony Financial's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Synchrony Financial is investing more in its future growth.
Synchrony Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 14 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Synchrony Financial share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Synchrony Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $26.582 up to $52.3773. 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 Synchrony Financial's is 1.61. This would suggest that Synchrony Financial's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
