Is Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's P/E ratio

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

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's PEG ratio

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.04. 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 Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 59.76% of net profits

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

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group'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.

Have Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's shares ever split?

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shares which in turn could have impacted Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's share price.
