Is Oracle Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Oracle Corporation's P/E ratio

Oracle 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 40x. In other words, Oracle Corporation shares trade at around 40x 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.

Oracle Corporation's PEG ratio

Oracle Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8245. 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 Oracle 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.

Oracle Corporation's EBITDA

Oracle Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $21.8 billion.

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

Oracle Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 22.1% of net profits

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

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

Oracle Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 22 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 9 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Oracle Corporation's stocks ever split?

Oracle Corporation's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 October 2000 . 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 Oracle Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Oracle Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted Oracle Corporation's stock price.

Oracle Corporation stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Oracle Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $100.5109 up to $198.3099. 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 Oracle Corporation's is 1.013. This would suggest that Oracle 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).
