Valuing WESCO International stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of WESCO International's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
WESCO International's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, WESCO International shares trade at around 13x 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.
WESCO International's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6807. 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 WESCO International's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
WESCO International's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.5 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a WESCO International's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 12.75% of net profits
Recently WESCO International has paid out, on average, around 12.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), WESCO International shareholders could enjoy a 1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In WESCO International's case, that would currently equate to about $1.575 per share.
While WESCO International's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that WESCO International is investing more in its future growth.
WESCO International's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
WESCO International's shares were split on a 5:289 basis on 12 May 1999. So if you had owned 289 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your WESCO International shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5680% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for WESCO International shares which in turn could have impacted WESCO International's share price.
Over the last 12 months, WESCO International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $121.4341 up to $194.4768. 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 WESCO International's is 2.034. This would suggest that WESCO International's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
