Is Lowes Companies stock undervalued or overvalued?

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.

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

While Lowes Companies's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Lowes Companies may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Lowes Companies's most recent dividend payout was on 4 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Lowes Companies's shares ever split?

Lowes Companies's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 July 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lowes Companies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lowes Companies shares which in turn could have impacted Lowes Companies's share price.

Lowes Companies share price volatility
