Is Olin Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Olin Corporation's P/E ratio

Olin 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 27x. In other words, Olin Corporation shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).

Olin Corporation's PEG ratio

Olin Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.82. 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 Olin 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.

Olin Corporation's EBITDA

Olin Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $906.2 million.

Olin Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 65.57% of net profits

Recently Olin 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), Olin Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Olin Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.

Olin 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.

Olin Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 12 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Olin Corporation's shares ever split?

Olin Corporation's shares were split on a 1575:1000 basis on 8 February 1999 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1575 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Olin Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 36.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Olin Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Olin Corporation's share price.

Olin Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Olin Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $33.42 up to $59.8087. 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 Olin Corporation's is 1.423. This would suggest that Olin Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
