Historical closes compared with the last close of $13.43
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 Perrigo Company P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Perrigo Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1418. A PEG ratio close to 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares offer reasonable value for the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Perrigo 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.
However, it's sensible to consider Perrigo Company's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Forward annual dividend yield: 8.63% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 49.79% of net profits
Perrigo Company has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 8.63% of its share value annually.
Perrigo Company has paid out, on average, around 49.79% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.63% 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 8.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Perrigo Company's case, that would currently equate to about 1.164 per share.
While Perrigo 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.
Perrigo Company's next dividend payout is expected around 15 December 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 27 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Perrigo Company's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

Perrigo Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 25 August 1993. 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 Perrigo Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Perrigo Company shares which in turn could have impacted Perrigo Company's share price.
