Is Micron Technology stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Micron Technology stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Micron Technology's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Micron Technology's PEG ratio

Micron Technology's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1151. 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 Micron Technology's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Micron Technology's EBITDA

Micron Technology's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $6 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Micron Technology's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Micron Technology share dividends

32%

Dividend payout ratio: 31.56% of net profits

Recently Micron Technology has paid out, on average, around 31.56% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.4% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Micron Technology shareholders could enjoy a 0.4% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Micron Technology's case, that would currently equate to about $0.46 per share.

While Micron Technology's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Micron Technology may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Micron Technology's most recent dividend payout was on 22 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Micron Technology's shares ever split?

Micron Technology's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 May 2000. 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 Micron Technology shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Micron Technology shares which in turn could have impacted Micron Technology's share price.

Micron Technology share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Micron Technology's shares have ranged in value from as little as $61.4516 up to $157.3973. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

MU.US volatility(beta: 1.18)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Micron Technology's is 1.179. This would suggest that Micron Technology'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).
