Is Pentair stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Pentair's P/E ratio

Pentair's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Pentair shares trade at around 25x 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.

Pentair's PEG ratio

Pentair's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9024. 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 Pentair's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Pentair's EBITDA

Pentair's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $978.7 million.

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

Pentair share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 22.33% of net profits

Recently Pentair 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), Pentair shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Pentair's case, that would currently equate to about $0.91 per share.

While Pentair's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Pentair is investing more in its future growth.

Pentair's most recent dividend payout was on 31 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Pentair's shares ever split?

Pentair's shares were split on a 1489:1000 basis on 30 April 2018 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1489 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Pentair shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 32.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Pentair shares which in turn could have impacted Pentair's share price.

Pentair share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Pentair's shares have ranged in value from as little as $67.3074 up to $110.71. 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 Pentair's is 1.189. This would suggest that Pentair'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).
