Is Intercontinental Exchange stock undervalued or overvalued?

Intercontinental Exchange share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 30.57% of net profits

Recently Intercontinental Exchange 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), Intercontinental Exchange shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Intercontinental Exchange's case, that would currently equate to about $1.74 per share.

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

Intercontinental Exchange's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Intercontinental Exchange's shares ever split?

Intercontinental Exchange's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 3 November 2016 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Intercontinental Exchange shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Intercontinental Exchange shares which in turn could have impacted Intercontinental Exchange's share price.

Intercontinental Exchange share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Intercontinental Exchange's shares have ranged in value from as little as $103.56 up to $167.545. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Intercontinental Exchange'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).
