Is Amcil under- or over-valued?

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

Amcil's P/E ratio

Amcil's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 45x. In other words, Amcil shares trade at around 45x recent earnings.

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

Amcil share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 162.79% of net profits

Recently Amcil has paid out, on average, around 162.79% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.55% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Amcil shareholders could enjoy a 2.55% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Amcil's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.03 per share.

Amcil'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 3 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Amcil share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Amcil's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.7 up to $1.025. 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 Amcil's is 0.5476. This would suggest that Amcil's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
