Is Designer Brands stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Designer Brands's P/E ratio

Designer Brands's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 136x. In other words, Designer Brands shares trade at around 136x 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.

Designer Brands's PEG ratio

Designer Brands's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.61. 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 Designer Brands's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Designer Brands's EBITDA

Designer Brands's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $88.7 million.

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

Designer Brands share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 100% of net profits

Recently Designer Brands has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Designer Brands shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Designer Brands's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

Designer Brands'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.

Designer Brands's most recent dividend payout was on 19 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Designer Brands's shares ever split?

Designer Brands's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 November 2013 . 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 Designer Brands shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Designer Brands shares which in turn could have impacted Designer Brands's share price.

Designer Brands share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Designer Brands's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.2905 up to $11.2612. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Designer Brands's is 2.059. This would suggest that Designer Brands's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
