Is Equity Commonwealth stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Equity Commonwealth's P/E ratio

Equity Commonwealth's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Equity Commonwealth shares trade at around 5x 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.

Equity Commonwealth share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 49.01% of net profits

Recently Equity Commonwealth has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1200% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Equity Commonwealth shareholders could enjoy a 1200% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Equity Commonwealth's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

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

Equity Commonwealth's most recent dividend payout was on 5 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Equity Commonwealth's shares ever split?

Equity Commonwealth's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 30 June 2010 . So if you had owned 4 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 Equity Commonwealth shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Equity Commonwealth shares which in turn could have impacted Equity Commonwealth's share price.

Equity Commonwealth share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Equity Commonwealth's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.4 up to $21. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
