Is Bathurst Resources under- or over-valued?

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

Bathurst Resources's P/E ratio

Bathurst Resources's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3x. In other words, Bathurst Resources shares trade at around 3x 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.

Bathurst Resources share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 13.49% of net profits

Recently Bathurst Resources has paid out, on average, around 13.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bathurst Resources shareholders could enjoy a 6.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bathurst Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$0 per share.

While Bathurst Resources's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Bathurst Resources is investing more in its future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 September 2019 (the "ex-dividend date").

Bathurst Resources share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Bathurst Resources's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.038 up to $0.12. 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 Bathurst Resources's is 1.1416. This would suggest that Bathurst Resources's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
