Is BGC Partners stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

BGC Partners's P/E ratio

BGC Partners's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 40x. In other words, BGC Partners shares trade at around 40x 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.

BGC Partners's PEG ratio

BGC Partners's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.22. 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 BGC Partners's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

BGC Partners share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 7.27% of net profits

Recently BGC Partners 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), BGC Partners shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BGC Partners's case, that would currently equate to about $0.04 per share.

While BGC Partners's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that BGC Partners is investing more in its future growth.

BGC Partners's most recent dividend payout was on 30 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have BGC Partners's shares ever split?

BGC Partners's shares were split on a 1555:1000 basis on 2 December 2018 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1555 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BGC Partners shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 35.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for BGC Partners shares which in turn could have impacted BGC Partners's share price.

BGC Partners share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BGC Partners's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 BGC Partners's is 1.8711. This would suggest that BGC Partners's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
