Is S-and-P Global stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

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.

S-and-P Global's PEG ratio

S-and-P Global's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.4447. 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 S-and-P Global's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

S-and-P Global stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 24.15% of net profits

Recently S-and-P Global 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), S-and-P Global shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In S-and-P Global's case, that would currently equate to about $3.63 per share.

While S-and-P Global's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that S-and-P Global is investing more in its future growth.

S-and-P Global's most recent dividend payout was on 10 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 25 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have S-and-P Global's stocks ever split?

S-and-P Global's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 17 May 2005 . 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 S-and-P Global stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for S-and-P Global stocks, which in turn could have impacted S-and-P Global's stock price.

S-and-P Global stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, S-and-P Global's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $405.3818 up to $532.3576. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

This would suggest that S-and-P Global'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).
