Is AbbVie stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

AbbVie's P/E ratio

AbbVie's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 84x. In other words, AbbVie shares trade at around 84x recent earnings.

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

AbbVie's PEG ratio

AbbVie's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.4214. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

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

AbbVie's EBITDA

AbbVie's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $26.7 billion.

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

AbbVie stock dividends

63%

Dividend payout ratio: 63.04% of net profits

Recently AbbVie 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), AbbVie shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AbbVie's case, that would currently equate to about $6.29 per share.

AbbVie'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.

AbbVie's most recent dividend payout was on 14 May 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 14 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

AbbVie stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, AbbVie's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $149.557 up to $218.66. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

ABBV.US volatility(beta: 0.6)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while AbbVie's is 0.598. This would suggest that AbbVie's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
