Valuing Smith AO Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Smith AO Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Smith AO 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 17x. In other words, Smith AO Corporation shares trade at around 17x 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.
Smith AO Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.58. 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 Smith AO 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.
Smith AO Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $777.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Smith AO Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 35.39% of net profits
Recently Smith AO Corporation 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), Smith AO Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Smith AO Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.3 per share.
While Smith AO Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Smith AO Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Smith AO Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 May 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Smith AO Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 5 October 2016 . 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 Smith AO Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Smith AO Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Smith AO Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Smith AO Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $58.83 up to $91.2231. 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 Smith AO Corporation's is 1.255. This would suggest that Smith AO Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
