Is CME Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing CME Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CME Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

CME Group's P/E ratio

CME Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, CME Group shares trade at around 24x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

CME Group's PEG ratio

CME Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.8873. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into CME Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

CME Group's EBITDA

CME Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.2 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a CME Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

CME Group share dividends

86%

Dividend payout ratio: 86.05% of net profits

Recently CME Group has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CME Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CME Group's case, that would currently equate to about $4.55 per share.

CME Group's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

CME Group's most recent dividend payout was on 24 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have CME Group's shares ever split?

CME Group's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 22 July 2012 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your CME Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for CME Group shares which in turn could have impacted CME Group's share price.

CME Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, CME Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $189.7054 up to $230.36. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

CME.US volatility(beta: 0.56)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while CME Group's is 0.561. This would suggest that CME Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
