Is Canadian Western Bank stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Canadian Western Bank's P/E ratio

Canadian Western Bank's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Canadian Western Bank shares trade at around 21x recent earnings.

Canadian Western Bank's PEG ratio

Canadian Western Bank's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.4. 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 Canadian Western Bank's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Canadian Western Bank stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 46.51% of net profits

Recently Canadian Western Bank 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), Canadian Western Bank shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Canadian Western Bank's case, that would currently equate to about C$1.36 per share.

While Canadian Western Bank's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Canadian Western Bank may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Canadian Western Bank's most recent dividend payout was on 1 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 17 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Canadian Western Bank's stocks ever split?

Canadian Western Bank's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 8 January 2007 . 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 Canadian Western Bank stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Canadian Western Bank stocks, which in turn could have impacted Canadian Western Bank's stock price.

Canadian Western Bank stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Canadian Western Bank's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$24.01 up to C$61.4203. 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 Western Bank's is 1.391. This would suggest that Canadian Western Bank's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
