Is Meta stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Meta stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Meta's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Meta's P/E ratio
Meta's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Meta shares trade at around 25x 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.
Meta's PEG ratio
Meta's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1723. 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 Meta's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Meta's EBITDA
Meta's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $83.7 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Meta's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Meta'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 Meta.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Meta's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 29.4
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Meta's overall score of 29.4 (as at 01/01/2019) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 59th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Meta 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.).

Meta share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 8.47% of net profits
Recently Meta 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), Meta shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Meta's case, that would currently equate to about $2 per share.
While Meta's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Meta is investing more in its future growth.
Meta's most recent dividend payout was on 26 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Meta share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Meta's shares have ranged in value from as little as $412.9934 up to $740.2514. 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 Meta's is 1.231. This would suggest that Meta'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).
