Is Citizens Financial Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Citizens Financial Group's P/E ratio

Citizens Financial Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Citizens Financial Group shares trade at around 17x 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.

Citizens Financial Group's PEG ratio

Citizens Financial Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.2626. 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 Citizens Financial Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Citizens Financial Group stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 66.14% of net profits

Recently Citizens Financial Group 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), Citizens Financial Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Citizens Financial Group's case, that would currently equate to about $1.68 per share.

Citizens Financial Group'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.

Citizens Financial Group'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").

Citizens Financial Group stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Citizens Financial Group's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $29.2923 up to $49.25. 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 Citizens Financial Group's is 1.32. This would suggest that Citizens Financial Group's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
