Is Public Service Enterprise Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Public Service Enterprise Group's P/E ratio

Public Service Enterprise Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Public Service Enterprise Group shares trade at around 20x 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.

Public Service Enterprise Group's PEG ratio

Public Service Enterprise Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.344. 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 Public Service Enterprise Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Public Service Enterprise Group's EBITDA

Public Service Enterprise Group stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 71.01% of net profits

Recently Public Service Enterprise Group 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), Public Service Enterprise Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Public Service Enterprise Group's case, that would currently equate to about $2.37 per share.

Public Service Enterprise Group'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.

Public Service Enterprise Group's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 9 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Public Service Enterprise Group stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Public Service Enterprise Group stocks, which in turn could have impacted Public Service Enterprise Group's stock price.
