Is Stifel Financial Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Stifel Financial Corporation's P/E ratio

Stifel Financial Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Stifel Financial Corporation shares trade at around 19x 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.

Stifel Financial Corporation's PEG ratio

Stifel Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9622. 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 Stifel Financial Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Stifel Financial Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 27.59% of net profits

Recently Stifel Financial Corporation 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), Stifel Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Stifel Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.62 per share.

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

Stifel Financial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Stifel Financial Corporation's shares ever split?

Stifel Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 16 December 2020 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Stifel Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Stifel Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Stifel Financial Corporation's share price.

Stifel Financial Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Stifel Financial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.317 up to $118.6879. 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 Stifel Financial Corporation's is 1.081. This would suggest that Stifel Financial Corporation'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).
