Is Avery Dennison stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Avery Dennison's P/E ratio

Avery Dennison's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, Avery Dennison shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).

Avery Dennison's PEG ratio

Avery Dennison's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5129. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Avery Dennison's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Avery Dennison's EBITDA

Avery Dennison's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.4 billion.

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

Avery Dennison share dividends

36%

Dividend payout ratio: 35.88% of net profits

Recently Avery Dennison has paid out, on average, around 35.88% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.59% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Avery Dennison shareholders could enjoy a 1.59% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Avery Dennison's case, that would currently equate to about $3.31 per share.

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

Avery Dennison's most recent dividend payout was on 17 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Avery Dennison's shares ever split?

Avery Dennison's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 December 1996. 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 Avery Dennison shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Avery Dennison shares which in turn could have impacted Avery Dennison's share price.

Avery Dennison share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Avery Dennison's shares have ranged in value from as little as $163.276 up to $233.475. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

AVY.US volatility(beta: 0.89)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Avery Dennison's is 0.89. This would suggest that Avery Dennison's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
