Is Northern Trust Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Northern Trust Corporation's P/E ratio

Northern Trust 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 12x. In other words, Northern Trust Corporation shares trade at around 12x 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.

Northern Trust Corporation's PEG ratio

Northern Trust Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8802. 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 Northern Trust 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.

Northern Trust Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 43.48% of net profits

Recently Northern Trust 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), Northern Trust Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Northern Trust Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $3 per share.

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

Northern Trust Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 31 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 5 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Northern Trust Corporation's stocks ever split?

Northern Trust Corporation's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 9 December 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 Northern Trust Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Northern Trust Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted Northern Trust Corporation's stock price.

Northern Trust Corporation stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Northern Trust Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $74.1304 up to $111.1069. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Northern Trust Corporation's is 1.073. This would suggest that Northern Trust Corporation'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).
