Is Home Depot stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Home Depot's P/E ratio

Home Depot's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, Home Depot shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).

Home Depot's PEG ratio

Home Depot's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.0804. 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 Home Depot's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Home Depot's EBITDA

Home Depot's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $24.8 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Home Depot's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Home Depot share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 60.69% of net profits

Recently Home Depot 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), Home Depot shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Home Depot's case, that would currently equate to about $2.25 per share.

Home Depot'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.

Home Depot's most recent dividend payout was on 11 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Home Depot's shares ever split?

Home Depot's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 30 December 1999 . So if you had owned 2 shares 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 Home Depot shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Home Depot shares which in turn could have impacted Home Depot's share price.

Home Depot share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Home Depot's shares have ranged in value from as little as $317.9195 up to $437.0684. 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 Home Depot's is 1.011. This would suggest that Home Depot's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
