Belden stock carried a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.72 on October 16, 2026, giving investors a clear valuation marker as the latest NYSE session ended. Belden was last at USD 102.83 on the NYSE at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 1.33 percent versus the prior close.

Revenue reached USD 750.0 million

Belden's operating picture remains tied to networking infrastructure demand. Business Wire reported that fiscal second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 750.0 million, up 12.00 percent year over year. The release also identified Belden as a NYSE-listed company under ticker BDC.

Price position on October 16

The NYSE session ran from USD 102.05 to USD 104.61, while reported volume reached 327,792 shares. The stock's 52-week range was USD 98.00 to USD 159.99, placing the last price USD 57.16 below the high and USD 4.83 above the low. Those levels put the closing-area quote closer to the bottom of the annual range than to its peak.

The latest quote also places Belden below the 52-week midpoint of USD 128.995. That comparison matters because the 16.72 price-to-earnings ratio sits alongside a share price that remains well below its annual high, a combination that gives the valuation figure more context than the ratio alone.

Valuation and shareholder return

Belden's market capitalization was USD 4.0 billion on October 16, 2026. Dividend Vision listed a trailing dividend yield of 0.19 percent and a quarterly distribution of USD 0.05 per share. The small cash return means the valuation story rests primarily on operating growth rather than income yield.

What the numbers indicate

Belden's daily decline was smaller than the moves shown for Arista Networks and Cisco Systems, but its earnings multiple was also lower than both comparison companies.
