Is Stryker Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing Stryker Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Stryker Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Stryker Corporation's P/E ratio
Stryker 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 43x. In other words, Stryker Corporation shares trade at around 43x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Stryker Corporation's PEG ratio
Stryker Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.1963. 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 Stryker 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.
Stryker Corporation's EBITDA
Stryker Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$5.2 billion (£4.2 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Stryker Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Stryker Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Stryker Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$249.3111 up to US$361.41. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Stryker Corporation's is 0.899. This would suggest that Stryker Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Stryker Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 29.25% of net profits
Recently Stryker Corporation has paid out, on average, around 29.25% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.91% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Stryker Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.91% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Stryker Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $3.05 per share.
While Stryker Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Stryker Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
