Is Seagate Technology stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Seagate Technology's P/E ratio

Seagate Technology'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, Seagate Technology 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.

Seagate Technology's PEG ratio

Seagate Technology's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.3121. 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 Seagate Technology's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Seagate Technology's EBITDA

Seagate Technology's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.2 billion.

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

Seagate Technology share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 91.56% of net profits

Recently Seagate Technology 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), Seagate Technology shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Seagate Technology's case, that would currently equate to about $2.8 per share.

Seagate Technology'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.

Seagate Technology's most recent dividend payout was on 5 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Seagate Technology share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Seagate Technology's shares have ranged in value from as little as $77.6883 up to $115.32. 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 Seagate Technology's is 1.07. This would suggest that Seagate Technology'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).
