Is BCE stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

BCE's P/E ratio

BCE's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 164x. In other words, BCE shares trade at around 164x recent earnings.

BCE's PEG ratio

BCE's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.186. 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 BCE's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

BCE's EBITDA

BCE's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is C$8.7 billion.

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

BCE stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 1.72% of net profits

Recently BCE 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), BCE shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BCE's case, that would currently equate to about C$3.99 per share.

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

BCE's most recent dividend payout was on 14 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 13 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have BCE's stocks ever split?

BCE's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 May 1997 . 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 BCE stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for BCE stocks, which in turn could have impacted BCE's stock price.

BCE stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BCE's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$28.73 up to C$46.4184. 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 (TO average) beta is 1, while BCE's is 0.665. This would suggest that BCE's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
