Is Intercontinental Exchange under- or over-valued?
Valuing Intercontinental Exchange stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Intercontinental Exchange's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Intercontinental Exchange's P/E ratio
Intercontinental Exchange's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, Intercontinental Exchange shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Intercontinental Exchange's PEG ratio
Intercontinental Exchange's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0463. 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 Intercontinental Exchange's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Intercontinental Exchange's EBITDA
Intercontinental Exchange's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$4.7 billion (£3.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Intercontinental Exchange's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Intercontinental Exchange share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Intercontinental Exchange's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$93.0573 up to US$118.3627. 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 Intercontinental Exchange's is 0.971. This would suggest that Intercontinental Exchange's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Intercontinental Exchange share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 30.27% of net profits
Recently Intercontinental Exchange has paid out, on average, around 30.27% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Intercontinental Exchange shareholders could enjoy a 1.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Intercontinental Exchange's case, that would currently equate to about $1.64 per share.
While Intercontinental Exchange's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Intercontinental Exchange may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
