Is Citigroup stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Citigroup's P/E ratio

Citigroup's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Citigroup shares trade at around 19x 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.

Citigroup's PEG ratio

Citigroup's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7845. 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 Citigroup's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Citigroup stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 38.05% of net profits

Recently Citigroup 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), Citigroup shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Citigroup's case, that would currently equate to about $2.15 per share.

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

Citigroup's most recent dividend payout was on 21 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 3 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Citigroup's stocks ever split?

Citigroup's stocks were split on a 1:10 basis on 8 May 2011 . So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Citigroup stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Citigroup stocks, which in turn could have impacted Citigroup's stock price.

Citigroup stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Citigroup's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $48.697 up to $73.38. 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 Citigroup's is 1.426. This would suggest that Citigroup's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
