Is Evergy stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Evergy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Evergy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Evergy's P/E ratio
Evergy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Evergy shares trade at around 16x 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.
Evergy's PEG ratio
Evergy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6328. 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 Evergy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Evergy's EBITDA
Evergy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Evergy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Evergy stock dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 69.81% of net profits
Recently Evergy 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), Evergy shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Evergy's case, that would currently equate to about $2.57 per share.
Evergy'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.
Evergy's most recent dividend payout was on 19 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 20 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Evergy's stocks ever split?
Evergy's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 21 May 1987 . 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 Evergy stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Evergy stocks, which in turn could have impacted Evergy's stock price.
Evergy stock price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Evergy's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $45.8974 up to $65.47. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Evergy's is 0.608. This would suggest that Evergy's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
