Is Broadcom stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Broadcom stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Broadcom's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Broadcom's P/E ratio
Broadcom's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 128x. In other words, Broadcom shares trade at around 128x 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.
Broadcom's PEG ratio
Broadcom's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1569. 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 Broadcom's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Broadcom's EBITDA
Broadcom's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $23 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Broadcom's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Broadcom's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Broadcom.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Broadcom's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 23.54
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Broadcom's overall score of 23.54 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 38th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Broadcom 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.).
Broadcom's environmental score
Environmental score: 5.96/100
Broadcom's social score
Social score: 5.66/100
Broadcom's governance score
Governance score: 6.43/100

Broadcom share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 46.36% of net profits
Recently Broadcom 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), Broadcom shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Broadcom's case, that would currently equate to about $2.105 per share.
While Broadcom's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Broadcom may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Broadcom's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Broadcom's shares ever split?
Broadcom's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 14 July 2024 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Broadcom shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Broadcom shares which in turn could have impacted Broadcom's share price.
Broadcom share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Broadcom's shares have ranged in value from as little as $88.9395 up to $186.42. 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 Broadcom's is 1.187. This would suggest that Broadcom'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).
