Is Chesapeake Energy stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Chesapeake Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Chesapeake Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Chesapeake Energy's P/E ratio
Chesapeake Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Chesapeake Energy shares trade at around 25x 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 shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Chesapeake Energy's PEG ratio
Chesapeake Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.849. 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 Chesapeake Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Chesapeake Energy's EBITDA
Chesapeake Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Chesapeake Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Chesapeake Energy share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 82.09% of net profits
Recently Chesapeake Energy has paid out, on average, around 82.09% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.09% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Chesapeake Energy shareholders could enjoy a 3.09% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Chesapeake Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $2.44 per share.
Chesapeake Energy'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.
Chesapeake Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 4 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Chesapeake Energy's shares ever split?
Chesapeake Energy's shares were split on a 1:200 basis on 14 April 2020. So if you had owned 200 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Chesapeake Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 19900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Chesapeake Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Chesapeake Energy's share price.
Chesapeake Energy share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Chesapeake Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $68.8669 up to $92.2349. 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 Chesapeake Energy's is 0.447. This would suggest that Chesapeake Energy's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
