Valuing Quaker Chemical Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Quaker Chemical Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Quaker Chemical 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 16x. In other words, Quaker Chemical Corporation shares trade at around 16x 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.
Quaker Chemical Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.67. 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 Quaker Chemical 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.
Quaker Chemical Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $283.5 million.

Recently Quaker Chemical Corporation 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), Quaker Chemical Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Quaker Chemical Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.88 per share.
While Quaker Chemical Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Quaker Chemical Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Quaker Chemical Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 29 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Quaker Chemical Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 30 July 1990 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Quaker Chemical Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Quaker Chemical Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Quaker Chemical Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Quaker Chemical Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $95.4576 up to $194.3435. 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 Quaker Chemical Corporation's is 1.435. This would suggest that Quaker Chemical 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).
