Valuing MDU Resources Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MDU Resources Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MDU Resources Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, MDU Resources Group shares trade at around 20x 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.
MDU Resources Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2639. 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 MDU Resources Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
MDU Resources Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $470 million.

Recently MDU Resources Group 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), MDU Resources Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MDU Resources Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.51 per share.
While MDU Resources Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that MDU Resources Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
MDU Resources Group's most recent dividend payout was on 31 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
MDU Resources Group's shares were split on a 1805:1000 basis on 31 October 2024 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1805 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your MDU Resources Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 44.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MDU Resources Group shares which in turn could have impacted MDU Resources Group's share price.
