Is Eagle Materials 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. Check out the Eagle Materials P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Frequently asked questions

• Does Eagle Materials pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 0.58% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 0.55% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 7.52% of net profits

  Eagle Materials has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.58% of its share value annually.

  Eagle Materials has paid out, on average, around 7.52% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.55% 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 0.55% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eagle Materials's case, that would currently equate to about 1 per share.

  While Eagle Materials's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

  Eagle Materials's next dividend payout is expected around 12 April 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 15 March 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").

• When does the fiscal year end for Eagle Materials?

  Eagle Materials's fiscal year ends in March.

• Where is Eagle Materials based?

  Eagle Materials's address is: 5960 Berkshire Lane, Dallas, TX, United States, 75225-6068

• Have Eagle Materials's shares ever split?

  Eagle Materials's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 26 February 2006. So if you had owned 1 share 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 Eagle Materials shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Eagle Materials shares which in turn could have impacted Eagle Materials's share price.
