Valuing Royal Bank of Canada stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Royal Bank of Canada's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Royal Bank of Canada's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Royal Bank of Canada shares trade at around 14x 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.
Royal Bank of Canada's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1127. 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 Royal Bank of Canada's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 32.13% of net profits
Recently Royal Bank of Canada 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), Royal Bank of Canada shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Royal Bank of Canada's case, that would currently equate to about $5.7 per share.
While Royal Bank of Canada's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Royal Bank of Canada may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Royal Bank of Canada's most recent dividend payout was on 22 May 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Royal Bank of Canada's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 6 April 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Royal Bank of Canada shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Royal Bank of Canada shares which in turn could have impacted Royal Bank of Canada's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Royal Bank of Canada's shares have ranged in value from as little as $96.8711 up to $125.8439. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
