Is Ashland Global stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

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 shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Ashland Global share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 35.79% of net profits

Recently Ashland 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), Ashland Global shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ashland Global's case, that would currently equate to about $1.58 per share.

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

Ashland Global's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Ashland Global's shares ever split?

Ashland Global's shares were split on a 511:250 basis on 14 May 2017 . So if you had owned 250 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 511 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ashland Global shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 51.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ashland Global shares which in turn could have impacted Ashland Global's share price.

Ashland Global share price volatility
