Is Bank of Queensland under- or over-valued?
Valuing Bank of Queensland stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bank of Queensland's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Bank of Queensland's P/E ratio
Bank of Queensland'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, Bank of Queensland shares trade at around 35x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Bank of Queensland's PEG ratio
Bank of Queensland's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 10.09. 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 Bank of Queensland's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Bank of Queensland share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 44.82% of net profits
Recently Bank of Queensland has paid out, on average, around 44.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bank of Queensland shareholders could enjoy a 1.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bank of Queensland's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.12 per share.
While Bank of Queensland's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Bank of Queensland may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Bank of Queensland's shares ever split?
Bank of Queensland's shares were split on 20 August 2009.
Bank of Queensland share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Bank of Queensland's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.4261 up to $9.44. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
