Is Southwest Airlines Company stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Southwest Airlines Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Southwest Airlines Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Southwest Airlines Company's P/E ratio
Southwest Airlines Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 55x. In other words, Southwest Airlines Company shares trade at around 55x 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.
Southwest Airlines Company's PEG ratio
Southwest Airlines Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.2636. 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 Southwest Airlines Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Southwest Airlines Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 74.23% of net profits
Recently Southwest Airlines Company has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Southwest Airlines Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Southwest Airlines Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.72 per share.
Southwest Airlines Company'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.
Southwest Airlines Company's most recent dividend payout was on 15 January 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 December 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Southwest Airlines Company's shares ever split?
Southwest Airlines Company's shares were
split on a 3:2 basis on 15 February 2001
. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Southwest Airlines Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Southwest Airlines Company shares which in turn could have impacted Southwest Airlines Company's share price.
Southwest Airlines Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Southwest Airlines Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $23.5515 up to $37.7481. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
