That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Lamar Advertising Company's PEG ratio
Lamar Advertising Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.43. 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 Lamar Advertising Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Lamar Advertising Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 106.49% of net profits
Recently Lamar Advertising Company 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), Lamar Advertising Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lamar Advertising Company's case, that would currently equate to about $5.1 per share.
Lamar Advertising Company'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.
Lamar Advertising Company's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Lamar Advertising Company's shares ever split?
Lamar Advertising Company's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 1 March 1998 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lamar Advertising Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lamar Advertising Company shares which in turn could have impacted Lamar Advertising Company's share price.
Lamar Advertising Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Lamar Advertising Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $76.8239 up to $139.875. 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 Lamar Advertising Company's is 1.541. This would suggest that Lamar Advertising Company's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
