Is Consolidated Edison stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Consolidated Edison's P/E ratio

Consolidated Edison'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, Consolidated Edison 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.

Consolidated Edison's PEG ratio

Consolidated Edison's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.6674. 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 Consolidated Edison's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Consolidated Edison's EBITDA

Consolidated Edison's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $5.6 billion.

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

Consolidated Edison stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 61.25% of net profits

Recently Consolidated Edison 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), Consolidated Edison shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Consolidated Edison's case, that would currently equate to about $3.3 per share.

Consolidated Edison'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.

Consolidated Edison's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 12 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Consolidated Edison's stocks ever split?

Consolidated Edison's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 July 1989 . 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 Consolidated Edison stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Consolidated Edison stocks, which in turn could have impacted Consolidated Edison's stock price.

Consolidated Edison stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Consolidated Edison's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $83.7027 up to $106.8284. 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 Consolidated Edison's is 0.353. This would suggest that Consolidated Edison's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
