Is Emerson Electric Co under- or over-valued?
Valuing Emerson Electric Co stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Emerson Electric Co's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Emerson Electric Co's P/E ratio
Emerson Electric Co's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, Emerson Electric Co shares trade at around 26x 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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Emerson Electric Co's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Emerson Electric Co shares can be evaluated.
Emerson Electric Co's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Emerson Electric Co's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Emerson Electric Co shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Emerson Electric Co shares traded daily (recently around 2.9 million). Emerson Electric Co's SIR currently stands at 2.55. In other words for every 100,000 Emerson Electric Co shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2550 shares are currently held short.

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Emerson Electric Co.

Emerson Electric Co share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 57.95% of net profits
Recently Emerson Electric Co has paid out, on average, around 57.95% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.41% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Emerson Electric Co shareholders could enjoy a 2.41% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Emerson Electric Co's case, that would currently equate to about $2.02 per share.
Emerson Electric Co'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.
Emerson Electric Co's most recent dividend payout was on 10 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Emerson Electric Co's shares ever split?
Emerson Electric Co's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 December 2006. 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 Emerson Electric Co shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Emerson Electric Co shares which in turn could have impacted Emerson Electric Co's share price.
Emerson Electric Co share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Emerson Electric Co's shares have ranged in value from as little as $36.8838 up to $85.39. 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 Emerson Electric Co's is 1.5425. This would suggest that Emerson Electric Co's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
