Is Steel Dynamics stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Steel Dynamics stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Steel Dynamics's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Steel Dynamics's P/E ratio
Steel Dynamics's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Steel Dynamics shares trade at around 13x 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.
Steel Dynamics's PEG ratio
Steel Dynamics's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 10.9053. 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 Steel Dynamics's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Steel Dynamics's EBITDA
Steel Dynamics's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.7 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Steel Dynamics's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Steel Dynamics share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 16.33% of net profits
Recently Steel Dynamics 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), Steel Dynamics shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Steel Dynamics's case, that would currently equate to about $1.805 per share.
While Steel Dynamics's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Steel Dynamics is investing more in its future growth.
Steel Dynamics's most recent dividend payout was on 9 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Steel Dynamics's shares ever split?
Steel Dynamics's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 30 March 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 Steel Dynamics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Steel Dynamics shares which in turn could have impacted Steel Dynamics's share price.
Steel Dynamics share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Steel Dynamics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $104.2181 up to $155.56. 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 Steel Dynamics's is 1.325. This would suggest that Steel Dynamics's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
