Is Lockheed Martin stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Lockheed Martin's P/E ratio

Lockheed Martin's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Lockheed Martin shares trade at around 17x 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.

Lockheed Martin's PEG ratio

Lockheed Martin's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.0146. 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 Lockheed Martin's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Lockheed Martin's EBITDA

Lockheed Martin's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $10.2 billion.

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

Lockheed Martin stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 45.67% of net profits

Recently Lockheed Martin 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), Lockheed Martin shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lockheed Martin's case, that would currently equate to about $12.6 per share.

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

Lockheed Martin's most recent dividend payout was on 26 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 1 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Lockheed Martin's stocks ever split?

Lockheed Martin's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 January 1999 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lockheed Martin stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Lockheed Martin stocks, which in turn could have impacted Lockheed Martin's stock price.

Lockheed Martin stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Lockheed Martin's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $403.3566 up to $615.0918. 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 Lockheed Martin's is 0.481. This would suggest that Lockheed Martin's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
