Is Progressive stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Progressive's P/E ratio

Progressive's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Progressive shares trade at around 17x 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.

Progressive's PEG ratio

Progressive's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.1222. 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 Progressive's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Progressive's EBITDA

Progressive's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $10.8 billion.

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

Progressive stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 37.81% of net profits

Recently Progressive 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), Progressive shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Progressive's case, that would currently equate to about $1.15 per share.

While Progressive's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Progressive may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Progressive's most recent dividend payout was on 15 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 8 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Progressive's stocks ever split?

Progressive's stocks were split on a 4:1 basis on 18 May 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Progressive stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Progressive stocks, which in turn could have impacted Progressive's stock price.

Progressive stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Progressive's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $155.0707 up to $270.62. 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 Progressive's is 0.366. This would suggest that Progressive's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
