Is Whirlpool Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing Whirlpool Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Whirlpool Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Whirlpool Corporation's PEG ratio
Whirlpool Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6495. 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 Whirlpool Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Whirlpool Corporation's EBITDA
Whirlpool Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1.5 billion (£1.2 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Whirlpool Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Whirlpool Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Whirlpool Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$96.9021 up to US$156.1359. 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 Whirlpool Corporation's is 1.532. This would suggest that Whirlpool Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Whirlpool Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 43.18% of net profits
Recently Whirlpool Corporation has paid out, on average, around 43.18% of net profits as dividends.

In Whirlpool Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $7 per share.
While Whirlpool Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Whirlpool Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
