Is Flex stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Flex's P/E ratio

Flex's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Flex shares trade at around 18x 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.

Flex's PEG ratio

Flex's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.97. 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 Flex's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Flex's EBITDA

Flex's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.6 billion.

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

Flex share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 3.4% of net profits

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

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

Have Flex's shares ever split?

Flex's shares were split on a 1327:1000 basis on 2 January 2024 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1327 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Flex shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 24.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Flex shares which in turn could have impacted Flex's share price.

Flex share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Flex's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.4254 up to $42.47. 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 Flex's is 1.076. This would suggest that Flex's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
