Is NVE Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing NVE Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of NVE Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

NVE Corporation's P/E ratio

NVE Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, NVE Corporation shares trade at around 23x 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.

NVE Corporation's PEG ratio

NVE Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.18. 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 NVE Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

NVE Corporation's EBITDA

NVE Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $17.6 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a NVE Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

NVE Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 120.06% of net profits

Recently NVE Corporation 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), NVE Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NVE Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $4 per share.

NVE Corporation'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.

NVE Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 28 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have NVE Corporation's shares ever split?

NVE Corporation's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 21 November 2002 . So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your NVE Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for NVE Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted NVE Corporation's share price.

NVE Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, NVE Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.4133 up to $88.7948. 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 NVE Corporation's is 1.127. This would suggest that NVE Corporation'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).
