Is WEC Energy Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

WEC Energy Group's P/E ratio

WEC Energy 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 23x. In other words, WEC Energy Group shares trade at around 23x 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.

WEC Energy Group's PEG ratio

WEC Energy Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.4719. 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 WEC Energy 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.

WEC Energy Group stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 73.25% of net profits

Recently WEC Energy 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), WEC Energy Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In WEC Energy Group's case, that would currently equate to about $3.285 per share.

WEC Energy 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.

WEC Energy Group's most recent dividend payout was on 28 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 13 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have WEC Energy Group's stocks ever split?

WEC Energy Group's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 March 2011 . 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 WEC Energy Group stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for WEC Energy Group stocks, which in turn could have impacted WEC Energy Group's stock price.

WEC Energy Group stock price volatility
