Is PG&E stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

PG&E's P/E ratio

PG&E's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, PG&E shares trade at around 15x 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.

PG&E's PEG ratio

PG&E's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1738. 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 PG&E's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

PG&E's EBITDA

PG&E's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $9.3 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a PG&E's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

PG&E share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 2.63% of net profits

Recently PG&E 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), PG&E shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PG&E's case, that would currently equate to about $0.04 per share.

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

PG&E's most recent dividend payout was on 14 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have PG&E's shares ever split?

PG&E's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 17 July 1983 . 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 PG&E shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for PG&E shares which in turn could have impacted PG&E's share price.

PG&E share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, PG&E's shares have ranged in value from as little as $15.9131 up to $21.72. 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 PG&E's is 1.035. This would suggest that PG&E's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
