Valuing Vulcan Materials Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Vulcan Materials Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Vulcan Materials Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 44x. In other words, Vulcan Materials Company shares trade at around 44x 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.
Vulcan Materials Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.5644. 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 Vulcan Materials Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Vulcan Materials Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 26.94% of net profits
Recently Vulcan Materials Company 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), Vulcan Materials Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vulcan Materials Company's case, that would currently equate to about $1.81 per share.
While Vulcan Materials Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Vulcan Materials Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Vulcan Materials Company's most recent dividend payout was on 26 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Vulcan Materials Company's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 10 March 1999 . So if you had owned 1 share 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 Vulcan Materials Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Vulcan Materials Company shares which in turn could have impacted Vulcan Materials Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Vulcan Materials Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $207.909 up to $298.31. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
