Is BlackRock stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

BlackRock's P/E ratio

BlackRock's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, BlackRock shares trade at around 25x 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.

BlackRock's PEG ratio

BlackRock's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8228. 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 BlackRock's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

BlackRock's EBITDA

BlackRock's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $7.7 billion.

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

BlackRock share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 49.41% of net profits

Recently BlackRock 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), BlackRock shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BlackRock's case, that would currently equate to about $5 per share.

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

BlackRock's most recent dividend payout was on 22 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

BlackRock share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BlackRock's shares have ranged in value from as little as $732.6819 up to $1082.45. 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 BlackRock's is 1.311. This would suggest that BlackRock's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
