Is it a good time to buy Bunge stock?

Is Bunge under- or over-valued?
Valuing Bunge stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bunge's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Bunge's P/E ratio
Bunge'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, Bunge 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.
Bunge's PEG ratio
Bunge's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7053. 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 Bunge's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Bunge's EBITDA
Bunge's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$3.5 billion (£2.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Bunge's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Bunge share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Bunge's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$86.2 up to US$115.1768. 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 Bunge's is 0.645. This would suggest that Bunge's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Bunge share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 19.49% of net profits
Recently Bunge has paid out, on average, around 19.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.46% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bunge shareholders could enjoy a 2.46% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bunge's case, that would currently equate to about $2.575 per share.
While Bunge's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Bunge is investing more in its future growth.
Bunge's most recent dividend payout was on 1 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
