Is GameStop stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

GameStop's P/E ratio

GameStop's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 145x. In other words, GameStop shares trade at around 145x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

GameStop's PEG ratio

GameStop's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.86. 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 GameStop's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

GameStop's EBITDA

GameStop's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $47.2 million.

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

GameStop stock dividends

We're not expecting GameStop to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have GameStop's stocks ever split?

GameStop's stocks were split on a 4:1 basis on 21 July 2022 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your GameStop stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for GameStop stocks, which in turn could have impacted GameStop's stock price.

GameStop stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, GameStop's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $9.95 up to $64.83. 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 GameStop's is -0.098. This would suggest that GameStop's stocks have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, GameStop has bucked the trend.
