Is Power Corp stock undervalued or overvalued?

Power Corp's P/E ratio

Power Corp's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Power Corp shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.

Power Corp's PEG ratio

Power Corp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5732. 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 Power Corp's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Power Corp stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 55.29% of net profits

Recently Power Corp 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), Power Corp shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Power Corp's case, that would currently equate to about C$2.175 per share.

Power Corp'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.

Power Corp's most recent dividend payout was on 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 30 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Power Corp's stocks ever split?

Power Corp's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 20 July 2004 . 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 Power Corp stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Power Corp stocks, which in turn could have impacted Power Corp's stock price.

Power Corp stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Power Corp's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$34.8539 up to C$47.89. 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 (TO average) beta is 1, while Power Corp's is 1.094. This would suggest that Power Corp'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).
