Canadian Tire's PEG ratio

Canadian Tire's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5622. 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.

Canadian Tire stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 60.19% of net profits

Recently Canadian Tire 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), Canadian Tire shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Canadian Tire's case, that would currently equate to about C$7.025 per share.

Canadian Tire'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.

Canadian Tire's most recent dividend payout was on 28 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 30 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Canadian Tire stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Canadian Tire's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$199.2742 up to C$279.8967. 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 Canadian Tire's is 1.329. This would suggest that Canadian Tire's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
