Is Unilever PLC ADR stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Unilever PLC ADR's P/E ratio

Unilever PLC ADR's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Unilever PLC ADR shares trade at around 20x 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.

Unilever PLC ADR's PEG ratio

Unilever PLC ADR's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 14.1093. 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 Unilever PLC ADR's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Unilever PLC ADR's EBITDA

Unilever PLC ADR share dividends

46%

Dividend payout ratio: 46.06% of net profits

Recently Unilever PLC ADR has paid out, on average, around 46.06% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.35% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Unilever PLC ADR shareholders could enjoy a 3.35% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Unilever PLC ADR's case, that would currently equate to about $1.711 per share.

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

Unilever PLC ADR's most recent dividend payout was on 6 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Unilever PLC ADR's shares ever split?

Unilever PLC ADR's shares were split on a 9:5 basis on 24 May 2006. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 9 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Unilever PLC ADR shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 44.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Unilever PLC ADR shares which in turn could have impacted Unilever PLC ADR's share price.

Unilever PLC ADR share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Unilever PLC ADR's shares have ranged in value from as little as $44.94 up to $56.4699. 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 Unilever PLC ADR's is 0.183. This would suggest that Unilever PLC ADR's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
