Is Activision Blizzard under- or over-valued?

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

Activision Blizzard's P/E ratio

Activision Blizzard's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 35x. In other words, Activision Blizzard shares trade at around 35x 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.

Activision Blizzard's PEG ratio

Activision Blizzard's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7987. 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 Activision Blizzard's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Activision Blizzard's EBITDA

Activision Blizzard's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$2.3 billion (£1.9 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Activision Blizzard's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Activision Blizzard share price volatility

Activision Blizzard share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 27.89% of net profits

Recently Activision Blizzard has paid out, on average, around 27.89% 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), Activision Blizzard shareholders could enjoy a 1.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Activision Blizzard's case, that would currently equate to about $1.98 per share.

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

Activision Blizzard's most recent dividend payout was on 16 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 July 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
