Is Balchem Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Balchem Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Balchem Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Balchem Corporation's P/E ratio
Balchem Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 45x. In other words, Balchem Corporation shares trade at around 45x recent earnings.
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 shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Balchem Corporation's PEG ratio
Balchem Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.4766. 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 Balchem Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Balchem Corporation's EBITDA
Balchem Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $215.1 million.

Balchem Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 28.3% of net profits
Recently Balchem Corporation 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), Balchem Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Balchem Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.79 per share.
While Balchem Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Balchem Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Balchem Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 16 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Balchem Corporation's shares ever split?
Balchem Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 20 January 2010 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Balchem Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Balchem Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Balchem Corporation's share price.
Balchem Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Balchem Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $135.84 up to $186.03. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Balchem Corporation's is 0.651. This would suggest that Balchem Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
