Is APA Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

APA Corporation's P/E ratio

APA Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3x. In other words, APA Corporation shares trade at around 3x 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 stock or simply that they're under-valued.

APA Corporation's PEG ratio

APA Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.1699. 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 APA Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

APA Corporation's EBITDA

APA Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $5 billion.

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

APA Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 24.39% of net profits

Recently APA Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), APA Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In APA Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.

While APA Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that APA Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

APA Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 20 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 21 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have APA Corporation's stocks ever split?

APA Corporation's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 January 2004 . 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 APA Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for APA Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted APA Corporation's stock price.

APA Corporation stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, APA Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $20.45 up to $36.5604. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while APA Corporation's is 3.246. This would suggest that APA Corporation's stocks are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
