Is Plains GP stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Plains GP's P/E ratio

Plains GP's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Plains GP shares trade at around 22x 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.

Plains GP's PEG ratio

Plains GP's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6803. 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 Plains GP's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Plains GP's EBITDA

Plains GP's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.5 billion.

Plains GP share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 149.41% of net profits

Recently Plains GP 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), Plains GP shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Plains GP's case, that would currently equate to about $1.27 per share.

Plains GP'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.

Plains GP's most recent dividend payout was on 13 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Plains GP's shares ever split?

Plains GP's shares were split on a 375:1000 basis on 15 November 2016 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 375 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Plains GP shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 166.7% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Plains GP shares which in turn could have impacted Plains GP's share price.

Plains GP share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Plains GP's shares have ranged in value from as little as $14.7817 up to $20.09. 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 Plains GP's is 1.517. This would suggest that Plains GP's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
