Technical Analysis of Accent Group Limited by TradingView

Is Accent Group under- or over-valued?

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

Accent Group's P/E ratio

Accent Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Accent Group shares trade at around 17x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Accent Group's EBITDA

Accent Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $121.6 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Accent Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Accent Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 90.63% of net profits

Recently Accent Group has paid out, on average, around 90.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.08% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Accent Group shareholders could enjoy a 5.08% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Accent Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.08 per share.

Accent Group'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.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Accent Group's shares ever split?

Accent Group's shares were split on 27 February 2007.

Accent Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Accent Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.555 up to $1.99. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Accent Group's is 1.4307. This would suggest that Accent Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
