Is FMC Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

FMC Corporation's P/E ratio

FMC 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 4x. In other words, FMC Corporation shares trade at around 4x 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.

FMC Corporation's PEG ratio

FMC Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8461. 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 FMC 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.

FMC Corporation's EBITDA

FMC Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $703.3 million.

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

FMC Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 84.36% of net profits

Recently FMC Corporation 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), FMC Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In FMC Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.32 per share.

FMC Corporation'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.

FMC Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 30 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have FMC Corporation's stocks ever split?

FMC Corporation's stocks were split on a 1153:1000 basis on 3 March 2019 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1153 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your FMC Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 13.3% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for FMC Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted FMC Corporation's stock price.

FMC Corporation stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, FMC Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $48.61 up to $67.9483. 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 FMC Corporation's is 0.853. This would suggest that FMC Corporation's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
