Is Chevron stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Chevron's P/E ratio

Chevron'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, Chevron 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.

Chevron's PEG ratio

Chevron's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.1479. 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 Chevron's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Chevron's EBITDA

Chevron's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $38.9 billion.

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

Chevron share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 56.99% of net profits

Recently Chevron 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), Chevron shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Chevron's case, that would currently equate to about $6.4 per share.

Chevron'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.

Chevron's most recent dividend payout was on 9 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Chevron's shares ever split?

Chevron's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 September 2004 . 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 Chevron shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Chevron shares which in turn could have impacted Chevron's share price.

Chevron share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Chevron's shares have ranged in value from as little as $133.8535 up to $164.68. 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 Chevron's is 1.078. This would suggest that Chevron'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).
