Is Hasbro under- or over-valued?
Valuing Hasbro stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Hasbro's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Hasbro's P/E ratio
Hasbro's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, Hasbro shares trade at around 33x 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.
Hasbro's PEG ratio
Hasbro's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7563. 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 Hasbro's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Hasbro's EBITDA
Hasbro's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $938.5 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Hasbro's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 4.6 million Hasbro shares held short by investors – that's known as Hasbro's "short interest". This figure is 3.7% up from 4.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Hasbro shares can be evaluated.
Hasbro's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Hasbro's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Hasbro shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Hasbro shares traded daily (recently around 948132.85123967). Hasbro's SIR currently stands at 4.84. In other words for every 100,000 Hasbro shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4840 shares are currently held short.
However Hasbro's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Hasbro shares, or, against the total number of tradable Hasbro shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Hasbro's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Hasbro shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0483% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Hasbro shares, roughly 48 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 Hasbro.

Hasbro'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 Hasbro.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Hasbro's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 12.46
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Hasbro's overall score of 12.46 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Hasbro 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.).
Hasbro's environmental score
Environmental score: 2.02/100
Hasbro's environmental score of 2.02 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Hasbro is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Hasbro's social score
Social score: 9.21/100
Hasbro's social score of 9.21 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Hasbro is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Hasbro's governance score
Governance score: 6.74/100
Hasbro's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Hasbro is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Hasbro's controversy score
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. A high-profile company, Hasbro scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Hasbro has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) summary
Hasbro, Inc was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

| Total ESG percentile | 4.62 |
| Environmental score | 2.02 |

Hasbro share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 73.32% of net profits
Recently Hasbro has paid out, on average, around 73.32% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.92% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hasbro shareholders could enjoy a 2.92% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hasbro's case, that would currently equate to about $2.72 per share.
Hasbro'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.
Hasbro's most recent dividend payout was on 16 February 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Hasbro's shares ever split?
Hasbro's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 16 March 1999. 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 Hasbro shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hasbro shares which in turn could have impacted Hasbro's share price.
Hasbro share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Hasbro's shares have ranged in value from as little as $40.2358 up to $106.6009. 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 Hasbro's is 0.9118. This would suggest that Hasbro's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
