Valuing Universal Display stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Universal Display's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Universal Display's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, Universal Display shares trade at around 34x recent earnings.
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.
Universal Display's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.118. 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 Universal Display's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Universal Display's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $296 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Universal Display's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 31.12% of net profits
Recently Universal Display 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), Universal Display shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Universal Display's case, that would currently equate to about $1.55 per share.
While Universal Display's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Universal Display may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Universal Display's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Universal Display's shares have ranged in value from as little as $148.175 up to $236.5467. 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 Universal Display's is 1.432. This would suggest that Universal Display's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
