Is Hewlett Packard Enterprise under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Hewlett Packard Enterprise P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Hewlett Packard Enterprise's shares trade at around 8x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.5498. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Hewlett Packard Enterprise's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $5.1 billion (£3.7 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 2.96% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 2.96% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 26.13% of net profits

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.96% of its share value annually.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has paid out, on average, around 26.13% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.96% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 2.96% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hewlett Packard Enterprise's case, that would currently equate to about 0.52 per share.

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

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's most recent dividend payout was on 17 April 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 20 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Hewlett Packard Enterprise's shares were split on a 1289:1000 basis on 31 August 2017. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1289 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 22.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares which in turn could have impacted Hewlett Packard Enterprise's share price.
