Is Volkswagen 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
Volkswagen's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Volkswagen shares trade at around 4x recent earnings.
However, Volkswagen's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the auto manufacturers industry or those of similar companies.
- Ford Motor Company (F.US): 6.20
- General Motors Company (GM.US): 7.00
- Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 10.44
- Rolls-Royce (RR.LSE): 54.42
PEG ratio
Volkswagen's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.2888. 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 Volkswagen'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 Volkswagen's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Ford Motor Company (F.US): 0.38
- General Motors Company (GM.US): 1.07
- Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 3.73
- Rolls-Royce (RR.LSE): 0.16
EBITDA
Volkswagen's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $30.2 billion (£24.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Volkswagen's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Ford Motor Company (F.US): USD$16.7 billion
- General Motors Company (GM.US): USD$18 billion
- Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): USD$4,002.5 billion
- Rolls-Royce (RR.LSE): £1 billion

Do Volkswagen shares pay dividends?
Dividend yield: 5.84% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 5.84% of stock value
Volkswagen has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 5.84% of its share value annually.
Volkswagen has paid out, on average, around 112.3% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.84% 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 5.84% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Volkswagen's case, that would currently equate to about $7.56 per share.
Volkswagen'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.
Volkswagen's most recent dividend payout was on 23 January 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Volkswagen's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Ford Motor Company (F.US): 4.65% (4.65% forward annual dividend yield)
- General Motors Company (GM.US): 0.99% (0.99% forward annual dividend yield)
- Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 2.69% (2.69% forward annual dividend yield)
- Rolls-Royce (RR.LSE): 0.00% (does not pay dividend)
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Volkswagen's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.3761 up to $17.7234. 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 (PINK average) beta is 1, while Volkswagen's is 1.322. This would suggest that Volkswagen'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 Volkswagen's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
- Ford Motor Company (F.US): 1.497
- General Motors Company (GM.US): 1.3547
- Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 0.5645
- Rolls-Royce (RR.LSE): 1.6937
