Is Darden Restaurants 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.

Darden Restaurants share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 61.17% of net profits
Recently Darden Restaurants 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), Darden Restaurants shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Darden Restaurants's case, that would currently equate to about $5.33 per share.
Darden Restaurants'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.
Darden Restaurants's most recent dividend payout was on 31 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Darden Restaurants's shares ever split?
Darden Restaurants's shares were split on a 10000:8939 basis on 9 November 2015 . So if you had owned 8939 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Darden Restaurants shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 10.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Darden Restaurants shares which in turn could have impacted Darden Restaurants's share price.
Darden Restaurants share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Darden Restaurants's shares have ranged in value from as little as $134.6654 up to $172.2159. 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 Darden Restaurants's is 1.304. This would suggest that Darden Restaurants's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
