Is FirstCash stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

FirstCash's P/E ratio

FirstCash's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, FirstCash shares trade at around 19x 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.

FirstCash's PEG ratio

FirstCash's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.28. 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 FirstCash's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

FirstCash's EBITDA

FirstCash's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $554.8 million.

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

FirstCash share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 22.02% of net profits

Recently FirstCash 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), FirstCash shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In FirstCash's case, that would currently equate to about $1.43 per share.

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

FirstCash's most recent dividend payout was on 26 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have FirstCash's shares ever split?

FirstCash's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 21 February 2006 . 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 FirstCash shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for FirstCash shares which in turn could have impacted FirstCash's share price.

FirstCash share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, FirstCash's shares have ranged in value from as little as $100.24 up to $132.3429. 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 FirstCash's is 0.637. This would suggest that FirstCash's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
