Is NiSource stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

NiSource's P/E ratio

NiSource's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, NiSource shares trade at around 22x 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.

NiSource's PEG ratio

NiSource's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.0051. 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 NiSource's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

NiSource's EBITDA

NiSource's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.3 billion.

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

NiSource stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 59.22% of net profits

Recently NiSource has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), NiSource shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NiSource's case, that would currently equate to about $1.06 per share.

NiSource's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

NiSource's most recent dividend payout was on 19 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 30 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have NiSource's stocks ever split?

NiSource's stocks were split on a 2545:1000 basis on 1 July 2015 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2545 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your NiSource stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 60.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for NiSource stocks, which in turn could have impacted NiSource's stock price.

NiSource stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, NiSource's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $24.1738 up to $38.56. 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 NiSource's is 0.507. This would suggest that NiSource's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
