Is RPM International stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

RPM International's PEG ratio

RPM International's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3671. 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 RPM International's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

RPM International share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 36.77% of net profits

Recently RPM International 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), RPM International shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In RPM International's case, that would currently equate to about $1.84 per share.

While RPM International's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that RPM International may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

RPM International's most recent dividend payout was on 30 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have RPM International's shares ever split?

RPM International's shares were split on a 5:4 basis on 8 December 1997 . So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your RPM International shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for RPM International shares which in turn could have impacted RPM International's share price.

RPM International share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, RPM International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $99.181 up to $141.79. 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 RPM International's is 0.981. This would suggest that RPM International's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
