Is United Rentals stock undervalued or overvalued?

United Rentals share dividends

15%

Dividend payout ratio: 14.8% of net profits

Recently United Rentals has paid out, on average, around 14.8% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United Rentals shareholders could enjoy a 1.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In United Rentals's case, that would currently equate to about $6.07 per share.

While United Rentals's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that United Rentals is investing more in its future growth.

United Rentals's most recent dividend payout was on 21 May 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

United Rentals share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, United Rentals's shares have ranged in value from as little as $383.8386 up to $730.623. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

URI.US volatility(beta: 1.75)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while United Rentals's is 1.746. This would suggest that United Rentals's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
