Is Charles Schwab under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.
P/E ratio
Charles Schwab's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Charles Schwab shares trade at around 23x 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.
PEG ratio
Charles Schwab's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7591. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Charles Schwab's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Charles Schwab share dividends
Dividend yield: 1.28% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.28% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 23.97% of net profits
Charles Schwab has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.28% of its share value annually.
Charles Schwab has paid out, on average, around 23.97% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.28% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.28% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Charles Schwab's case, that would currently equate to about $0.74 per share.
While Charles Schwab's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
Charles Schwab's most recent dividend payout was on 26 May 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Charles Schwab's shares have ranged in value from as little as $59.35 up to $95.7414. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Charles Schwab's is 1.0894. This would suggest that Charles Schwab'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).
