Have ConocoPhillips's shares ever split?

Is ConocoPhillips under- or over-valued?
Valuing ConocoPhillips stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of ConocoPhillips's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
ConocoPhillips's P/E ratio
ConocoPhillips's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, ConocoPhillips shares trade at around 11x 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.
ConocoPhillips's PEG ratio
ConocoPhillips's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.2377. 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 ConocoPhillips's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
ConocoPhillips's EBITDA
ConocoPhillips's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$24.4 billion (£19.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a ConocoPhillips's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
ConocoPhillips share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, ConocoPhillips's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$95.75 up to US$132.4353. 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 ConocoPhillips's is 1.22. This would suggest that ConocoPhillips'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).

ConocoPhillips share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 38.1% of net profits
Recently ConocoPhillips has paid out, on average, around 38.1% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.26% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), ConocoPhillips shareholders could enjoy a 3.26% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ConocoPhillips's case, that would currently equate to about $3.52 per share.
While ConocoPhillips's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that ConocoPhillips may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
ConocoPhillips's most recent dividend payout was on 1 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
