Is FirstEnergy Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

FirstEnergy Corporation's P/E ratio

FirstEnergy Corporation'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, FirstEnergy Corporation 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.

FirstEnergy Corporation's PEG ratio

FirstEnergy Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2066. 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 FirstEnergy Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

FirstEnergy Corporation's EBITDA

FirstEnergy Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.9 billion.

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

FirstEnergy Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 65.31% of net profits

Recently FirstEnergy Corporation 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), FirstEnergy Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In FirstEnergy Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.67 per share.

FirstEnergy Corporation'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.

FirstEnergy Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 30 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have FirstEnergy Corporation's shares ever split?

FirstEnergy Corporation's shares were split on a 1:3 basis on 3 April 2003 . So if you had owned 3 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 FirstEnergy Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 200% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for FirstEnergy Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted FirstEnergy Corporation's share price.

FirstEnergy Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, FirstEnergy Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $34.2466 up to $44.5104. 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 FirstEnergy Corporation's is 0.495. This would suggest that FirstEnergy Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
