Is Celanese Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Celanese Corporation's P/E ratio

Celanese 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 7x. In other words, Celanese Corporation shares trade at around 7x 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.

Celanese Corporation's PEG ratio

Celanese Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.4198. 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 Celanese 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.

Celanese Corporation's EBITDA

Celanese Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.9 billion.

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

Celanese Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 30.63% of net profits

Recently Celanese 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), Celanese Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Celanese Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.8 per share.

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

Celanese Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 12 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 29 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Celanese Corporation stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Celanese Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $67.025 up to $169.574. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Celanese Corporation's is 1.304. This would suggest that Celanese Corporation's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
