Valuing Sempra Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sempra Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sempra Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Sempra Energy shares trade at around 15x 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.
Sempra Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.4877. 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 Sempra Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Sempra Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$5.8 billion (£4.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Sempra Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Sempra Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$62.6776 up to US$77.1116. 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 Sempra Energy's is 0.714. This would suggest that Sempra Energy's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Dividend payout ratio: 58.8% of net profits
Recently Sempra Energy has paid out, on average, around 58.8% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.4% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sempra Energy shareholders could enjoy a 3.4% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sempra Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $2.38 per share.
Sempra Energy's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Sempra Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 14 April 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
