Is Rolls-Royce under- or over-valued?

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

Rolls-Royce's PEG ratio

Rolls-Royce's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.939. 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 Rolls-Royce's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Rolls-Royce's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

• General Electric Company (GE.US): 10.38
• Honeywell International (HON.US): 2.99
• Toyota Motor Corporation (TM.US): 50.25

Rolls-Royce'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 Rolls-Royce.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

Rolls-Royce's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 29.13

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Rolls-Royce's overall score of 29.13 (as at 01/01/2019) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 53rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Rolls-Royce 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.).

To gain some more context, you can compare Rolls-Royce's total ESG risk score against those of similar companies.

• General Electric Company (GE.US): 48.86
• Honeywell International (HON.US): 40.44

Rolls-Royce's environmental score

Rolls-Royce's environmental score of 9.05 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Rolls-Royce is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Rolls-Royce's social score

Social score: 14.41/100

Rolls-Royce's social score of 14.41 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Rolls-Royce is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. A high-profile company, Rolls-Royce scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Rolls-Royce has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

Wondering how that compares? Below are the controversy scores of similar companies.

• General Electric Company (GE.US): 3
• Honeywell International (HON.US): 3

Rolls-Royce share dividends

We're not expecting Rolls-Royce to pay a dividend over the next 12 months. However, you can browse other dividend-paying shares in our guide.

• Honeywell International (HON.US) (1.76% forward annual dividend yield)
• Toyota Motor Corporation (TM.US) (1.34% forward annual dividend yield)
• AUDI (NSU.XETRA) (0.29% forward annual dividend yield)

Have Rolls-Royce's shares ever split?

Rolls-Royce's shares were split on a 1:120 basis on 24 April 2013. So if you had owned 120 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rolls-Royce shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 11900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rolls-Royce shares which in turn could have impacted Rolls-Royce's share price.

Rolls-Royce share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Rolls-Royce's shares have ranged in value from as little as 34.5929p up to 196.7595p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Rolls-Royce's is 1.8266. This would suggest that Rolls-Royce's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

To put Rolls-Royce's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.

• General Electric Company (GE.US): 1.0806
• Honeywell International (HON.US): 1.1958
• Toyota Motor Corporation (TM.US): 0.727
• AUDI (NSU.XETRA): 0.2519
