Is Kaman 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 Kaman P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Kaman's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 164x. In other words, Kaman's shares trade at around 164x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Kaman's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.24. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Kaman's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Kaman's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $105.4 million (£77.9 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of Kaman's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.74% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 1.82% of net profits
Kaman has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.74% of its share value annually.
Kaman has paid out, on average, around 1.82% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.74% 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 1.74% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kaman's case, that would currently equate to about 0.8 per share.
While Kaman's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
Kaman's most recent dividend payout was on 10 April 2024. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 17 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Currently 1.265% of Kaman shares are held by insiders and 89.239% by institutions.
Kaman's fiscal year ends in December.
Kaman's address is: 1332 Blue Hills Avenue, Bloomfield, CT, United States, 06002
Kaman's shares were split on a 1.6:1 basis on 1 November 1987. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1.6 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Kaman shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 37.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kaman shares which in turn could have impacted Kaman's share price.
