Is Blackstone Group stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Blackstone Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Blackstone Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Blackstone Group's P/E ratio
Blackstone 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 58x. In other words, Blackstone Group shares trade at around 58x 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.
Blackstone Group's PEG ratio
Blackstone Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8765. 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 Blackstone 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.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Blackstone Group is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Blackstone Group's environmental score
Environmental score: 0.2/100

Blackstone Group's social score
Social score: 12.52/100

Blackstone Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 84.96% of net profits
Recently Blackstone Group has paid out, on average, around 84.96% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Blackstone Group shareholders could enjoy a 2.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Blackstone Group's case, that would currently equate to about $3.39 per share.
Blackstone 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.
Blackstone Group's most recent dividend payout was on 4 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Blackstone Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Blackstone Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $86.8242 up to $161.25. 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 Blackstone Group's is 1.502. This would suggest that Blackstone Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
