Is Yum China stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Yum China stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Yum China's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Yum China's P/E ratio
Yum China's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Yum China shares trade at around 16x 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.
Yum China's PEG ratio
Yum China's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1747. 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 Yum China's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Yum China's EBITDA
Yum China's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Yum China's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Yum China share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 29.05% of net profits
Recently Yum China has paid out, on average, around 29.05% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.89% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Yum China shareholders could enjoy a 1.89% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Yum China's case, that would currently equate to about $0.58 per share.
While Yum China's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Yum China may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Yum China's most recent dividend payout was on 16 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Yum China share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Yum China's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.3642 up to $57.2914. 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 Yum China's is 0.321. This would suggest that Yum China's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
