Is The Cheesecake Factory 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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into The Cheesecake Factory's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

The Cheesecake Factory share dividends

32%

Dividend payout ratio: 32.05% of net profits

Recently The Cheesecake Factory 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), The Cheesecake Factory shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Cheesecake Factory's case, that would currently equate to about $1.08 per share.

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

The Cheesecake Factory's most recent dividend payout was on 26 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have The Cheesecake Factory's shares ever split?

The Cheesecake Factory's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 8 December 2004 . 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 The Cheesecake Factory shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The Cheesecake Factory shares which in turn could have impacted The Cheesecake Factory's share price.

The Cheesecake Factory share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, The Cheesecake Factory's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.382 up to $43.51. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

CAKE.US volatility(beta: 1.5)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while The Cheesecake Factory's is 1.502. This would suggest that The Cheesecake Factory's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
