Is Argo Investments under- or over-valued?

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

Argo Investments's P/E ratio

Argo Investments's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Argo Investments shares trade at around 25x 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.

Argo Investments's EBITDA

Argo Investments's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $270.5 million (£0.0 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Argo Investments's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Have Argo Investments's shares ever split?

Argo Investments's shares were split on a 1.0134:1 basis on 24 February 2002. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0134 shares.

However, indirectly, the new 1.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Argo Investments shares which in turn could have impacted Argo Investments's share price.
