Is Philip Morris stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

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.

Philip Morris's PEG ratio

Philip Morris's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5233. 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 Philip Morris's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Recently Philip Morris 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), Philip Morris shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Philip Morris's case, that would currently equate to about $5.25 per share.

Philip Morris'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.

Philip Morris's most recent dividend payout was on 12 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 25 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
