Is Starbucks Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Starbucks Corporation's P/E ratio

Starbucks Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, Starbucks Corporation shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).

Starbucks Corporation's PEG ratio

Starbucks Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8633. 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 Starbucks Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Starbucks Corporation's EBITDA

Starbucks Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $6.7 billion.

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

Starbucks Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 70.09% of net profits

Recently Starbucks Corporation 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), Starbucks Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Starbucks Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.32 per share.

Starbucks Corporation'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.

Starbucks Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 27 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Starbucks Corporation's shares ever split?

Starbucks Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 8 April 2015 . 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 Starbucks Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Starbucks Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Starbucks Corporation's share price.

Starbucks Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Starbucks Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $70.3959 up to $103.32. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Starbucks Corporation's is 0.962. This would suggest that Starbucks Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
