Is Johnson & Johnson stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Johnson & Johnson's P/E ratio

Johnson & Johnson's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Johnson & Johnson shares trade at around 24x 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.

Johnson & Johnson's PEG ratio

Johnson & Johnson's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8777. 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 Johnson & Johnson's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Johnson & Johnson share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 47.95% of net profits

Recently Johnson & Johnson 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), Johnson & Johnson shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Johnson & Johnson's case, that would currently equate to about $4.86 per share.

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

Johnson & Johnson's most recent dividend payout was on 9 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Johnson & Johnson's shares ever split?

Johnson & Johnson's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 June 2001 . 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 Johnson & Johnson shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Johnson & Johnson shares which in turn could have impacted Johnson & Johnson's share price.

Johnson & Johnson share price volatility
