Is Gentex Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Gentex Corporation's P/E ratio

Gentex 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 16x. In other words, Gentex Corporation shares trade at around 16x 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.

Gentex Corporation's PEG ratio

Gentex Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5953. 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 Gentex 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.

Gentex Corporation's EBITDA

Gentex Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $595.9 million.

Gentex Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 25.67% of net profits

Recently Gentex Corporation 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), Gentex Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gentex Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.48 per share.

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

Gentex Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 21 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Gentex Corporation's shares ever split?

Gentex Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 January 2015 . 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 Gentex Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gentex Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Gentex Corporation's share price.

Gentex Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Gentex Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.1816 up to $37.1607. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
