Is IDEX Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

IDEX Corporation's P/E ratio

IDEX 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 33x. In other words, IDEX Corporation 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.

IDEX Corporation's PEG ratio

IDEX Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3203. 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 IDEX 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.

IDEX Corporation's EBITDA

IDEX Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $862.7 million.

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

IDEX Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 35.33% of net profits

Recently IDEX Corporation 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), IDEX Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In IDEX Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.71 per share.

While IDEX Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that IDEX Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

IDEX Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 16 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have IDEX Corporation's stocks ever split?

IDEX Corporation's stocks were split on a 3:2 basis on 21 May 2007 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your IDEX Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for IDEX Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted IDEX Corporation's stock price.

IDEX Corporation stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, IDEX Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $188.8827 up to $243.9587. 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 IDEX Corporation's is 0.952. This would suggest that IDEX Corporation's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
