Is HP stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing HP stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of HP's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
HP's P/E ratio
HP's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, HP shares trade at around 12x 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.
HP's PEG ratio
HP's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7012. 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 HP's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
HP's EBITDA
HP's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $5 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a HP's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

HP share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 32.81% of net profits
Recently HP has paid out, on average, around 32.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.2% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), HP shareholders could enjoy a 3.2% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In HP's case, that would currently equate to about $1.089 per share.
While HP's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that HP may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
HP's most recent dividend payout was on 1 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have HP's shares ever split?
HP's shares were split on a 2202:1000 basis on 1 November 2015. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2202 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your HP shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 54.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for HP shares which in turn could have impacted HP's share price.
HP share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, HP's shares have ranged in value from as little as $24.58 up to $39.2201. 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 HP's is 1.083. This would suggest that HP'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).
