Is The New York Times Company 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 The New York Times Company P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

The New York Times Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 32x. In other words, The New York Times Company's shares trade at around 32x 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.

The New York Times Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.11. 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 The New York Times Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

The New York Times Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $499.5 million (£377.8 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of The New York Times Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 1.04% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.04% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 28.15% of net profits

The New York Times Company has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.04% of its share value annually.

The New York Times Company has paid out, on average, around 28.15% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.04% 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 1.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The New York Times Company's case, that would currently equate to about 0.67 per share.

While The New York Times Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

The New York Times Company's most recent dividend payout was on 22 October 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 7 October 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
The New York Times Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 July 1998. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your The New York Times Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The New York Times Company shares which in turn could have impacted The New York Times Company's share price.
It's as easy to sell The New York Times Company as it is to buy! Here's how to sell The New York Times Company shares that you already own.
1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online

This type of order tells the platform that you're interested, so it'll try to execute it as quickly as it can. It could take some time for the order to go through, especially if there's a lot of volatility in The New York Times Company shares.
