Is BCI Minerals under- or over-valued?

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

BCI Minerals's P/E ratio

BCI Minerals's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 278x. In other words, BCI Minerals shares trade at around 278x 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.
