Is it a good time to buy Devon Energy Corporation stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is Devon Energy Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Devon Energy Corporation's P/E ratio

Devon Energy 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 8x. In other words, Devon Energy Corporation shares trade at around 8x 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.

Devon Energy Corporation's PEG ratio

Devon Energy Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.3953. 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 Devon Energy 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.

Devon Energy Corporation's EBITDA

Devon Energy Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$7.5 billion (£5.9 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Devon Energy Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Devon Energy Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Devon Energy Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$40.2822 up to US$53.6461. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

DVN.US volatility(beta: 2.2)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Devon Energy Corporation's is 2.2. This would suggest that Devon Energy Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.

Devon Energy Corporation share dividends

42%

Dividend payout ratio: 42.46% of net profits

Recently Devon Energy Corporation has paid out, on average, around 42.46% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Devon Energy Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Devon Energy Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.87 per share.

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

Devon Energy Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 27 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
