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 Walmart P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Walmart's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 46x. In other words, Walmart's shares trade at around 46x 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.
However, Walmart's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
Walmart's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.3365. 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 Walmart'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 Walmart's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Walmart's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $44.1 billion (£32.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Walmart'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.
Dividend yield: 0.76% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 0.79% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 35.34% of net profits
Walmart has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.76% of its share value annually.
Walmart has paid out, on average, around 35.34% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.79% 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 0.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Walmart's case, that would currently equate to about 0.965 per share.
While Walmart'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.
Walmart's next dividend payout is expected around 3 January 2027. To benefit from it's next dividend payout, you'll need to buy Walmart shares before 10 December 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Walmart's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Walmart's fiscal year ends in January.
Walmart's address is: 1 Customer Drive, Bentonville, AR, United States, 72716
Walmart's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 25 February 2024. 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 Walmart shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Walmart shares which in turn could have impacted Walmart's share price.
