Have Procter & Gamble Company's shares ever split?
Procter & Gamble Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 20 June 2004. 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 Procter & Gamble Company shares – just the quantity.

Is it worth buying Procter & Gamble Company stock?
Valuing Procter & Gamble Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Procter & Gamble Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Procter & Gamble Company's P/E ratio
Procter & Gamble Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Procter & Gamble Company shares trade at around 22x 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.
Procter & Gamble Company's PEG ratio
Procter & Gamble Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.5033. 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 Procter & Gamble Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Procter & Gamble Company's EBITDA
Procter & Gamble Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$24.7 billion (£18.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Procter & Gamble Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Procter & Gamble Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Procter & Gamble Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$144.09 up to US$176.394. 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 Procter & Gamble Company's is 0.381. This would suggest that Procter & Gamble Company's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Procter & Gamble Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 60.64% of net profits
Recently Procter & Gamble Company has paid out, on average, around 60.64% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.85% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Procter & Gamble Company shareholders could enjoy a 2.85% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Procter & Gamble Company's case, that would currently equate to about $4.127 per share.
