Have Intel's shares ever split?

Intel's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 30 July 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Intel shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Intel shares which in turn could have impacted Intel's share price.

Is it worth buying Intel stock?

Valuing Intel stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Intel's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Intel's PEG ratio

Intel's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5009. 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 Intel's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Intel's EBITDA

Intel's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$8.1 billion (£6.4 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Intel's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Intel share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Intel's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$17.665 up to US$36.9258. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Intel's is 1.144. This would suggest that Intel's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Intel share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 27.78% of net profits

Recently Intel has paid out, on average, around 27.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.24% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Intel shareholders could enjoy a 2.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Intel's case, that would currently equate to about $0.245 per share.

While Intel's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Intel may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Intel's most recent dividend payout was on 31 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
