Is GE Aerospace stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

GE Aerospace's P/E ratio

GE Aerospace's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, GE Aerospace shares trade at around 33x 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.

GE Aerospace's PEG ratio

GE Aerospace's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9183. 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 GE Aerospace's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

GE Aerospace's EBITDA

GE Aerospace's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $8.9 billion.

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

GE Aerospace stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 21.52% of net profits

Recently GE Aerospace has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), GE Aerospace shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In GE Aerospace's case, that would currently equate to about $0.92 per share.

While GE Aerospace's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that GE Aerospace is investing more in its future growth.

GE Aerospace's most recent dividend payout was on 24 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 25 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have GE Aerospace's stocks ever split?

GE Aerospace's stocks were split on a 1253:1000 basis on 1 April 2024 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1253 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your GE Aerospace stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20.2% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for GE Aerospace stocks, which in turn could have impacted GE Aerospace's stock price.

GE Aerospace stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, GE Aerospace's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $96.6899 up to $194.8. 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 GE Aerospace's is 1.188. This would suggest that GE Aerospace's stocks are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
