Is Select Medical stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Select Medical's P/E ratio

Select Medical's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Select Medical shares trade at around 9x 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.

Select Medical's PEG ratio

Select Medical's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.37. 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 Select Medical's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Select Medical's EBITDA

Select Medical's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $819.3 million.

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

Select Medical share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 15.28% of net profits

Recently Select Medical 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), Select Medical shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Select Medical's case, that would currently equate to about $0.5 per share.

While Select Medical's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Select Medical is investing more in its future growth.

Select Medical's most recent dividend payout was on 25 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Select Medical's shares ever split?

Select Medical's shares were split on a 1856:1000 basis on 25 November 2024 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1856 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Select Medical shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 46.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Select Medical shares which in turn could have impacted Select Medical's share price.

Select Medical share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Select Medical's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.1127 up to $21.9389. 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 Select Medical's is 1.418. This would suggest that Select Medical's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
