Is Schroders 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
Schroders's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Schroders shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). 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
Schroders's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.9398. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value 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 Schroders's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
EBITDA
Schroders's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £817.5 million.

Do Schroders shares pay dividends?
Dividend yield: 4.35% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 4.35% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 60.7% of net profits
Schroders has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.35% of its share value annually.
Schroders has paid out, on average, around 60.7% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.35% 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 4.35% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Schroders's case, that would currently equate to about 20.7p per share.
Schroders'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.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Schroders's shares have ranged in value from as little as 348p up to 582.4582p. 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 Schroders's is 1.2553. This would suggest that Schroders's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
