Valuing Manulife Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Manulife Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Manulife Financial'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, Manulife Financial 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.
Manulife Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0063. 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 Manulife Financial's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 28.31% of net profits
Recently Manulife Financial 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), Manulife Financial shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Manulife Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $1.565 per share.
While Manulife Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Manulife Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Manulife Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 18 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Manulife Financial's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 4 June 2006 . 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 Manulife Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Manulife Financial shares which in turn could have impacted Manulife Financial's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Manulife Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.4627 up to $33.07. 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 Manulife Financial's is 1.06. This would suggest that Manulife Financial'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).
