Is it worth buying Lockheed Martin Corporation stock?
Valuing Lockheed Martin Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Lockheed Martin Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Lockheed Martin Corporation's P/E ratio
Lockheed Martin Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Lockheed Martin Corporation shares trade at around 24x 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.
Lockheed Martin Corporation's PEG ratio
Lockheed Martin Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5185. 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 Lockheed Martin 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.
Lockheed Martin Corporation's EBITDA
Lockheed Martin Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$7.3 billion (£5.5 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Lockheed Martin Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Lockheed Martin Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Lockheed Martin Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$404.0515 up to US$512.1119. 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 Lockheed Martin Corporation's is 0.234. This would suggest that Lockheed Martin Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Lockheed Martin Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 57.05% of net profits
Recently Lockheed Martin Corporation has paid out, on average, around 57.05% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.01% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Lockheed Martin Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.01% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lockheed Martin Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $13.2 per share.
Lockheed Martin Corporation'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.
