Is Lennar Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Lennar Corporation's P/E ratio

Lennar 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 10x. In other words, Lennar Corporation shares trade at around 10x 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.

Lennar Corporation's PEG ratio

Lennar Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1055. 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 Lennar 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.

Lennar Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 10.45% of net profits

Recently Lennar 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), Lennar Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lennar Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.875 per share.

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

Lennar Corporation's stocks were split on a 1017:1000 basis on 8 November 2017 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1017 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lennar Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Lennar Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted Lennar Corporation's stock price.

Lennar Corporation stock price volatility
