Is Bisalloy Steel Group under- or over-valued?

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

Bisalloy Steel Group's P/E ratio

Bisalloy Steel 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 7x. In other words, Bisalloy Steel Group shares trade at around 7x 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.

Bisalloy Steel Group's EBITDA

Bisalloy Steel Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $10.8 million (£0.0 million).

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

Bisalloy Steel Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 27.97% of net profits

Recently Bisalloy Steel Group has paid out, on average, around 27.97% 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), Bisalloy Steel Group shareholders could enjoy a 5.08% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bisalloy Steel Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.05 per share.

While Bisalloy Steel Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Bisalloy Steel Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Bisalloy Steel Group's shares ever split?

Bisalloy Steel Group's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 9 January 2012. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bisalloy Steel Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bisalloy Steel Group shares which in turn could have impacted Bisalloy Steel Group's share price.

Bisalloy Steel Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Bisalloy Steel Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.61 up to $1.2. 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 Bisalloy Steel Group's is 1.0205. This would suggest that Bisalloy Steel Group'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).
