Is S-and-P Global stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Recently S-and-P Global 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), S-and-P Global shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In S-and-P Global's case, that would currently equate to about $3.69 per share.

While S-and-P Global's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that S-and-P Global is investing more in its future growth.

Have S-and-P Global's shares ever split?

S-and-P Global's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 17 May 2005 . 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 S-and-P Global shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for S-and-P Global shares which in turn could have impacted S-and-P Global's share price.

S-and-P Global share price volatility
