Is it a good time to buy Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. This is not a recommendation, however. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund under- or over-valued?

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

Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund's P/E ratio

Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 36x. In other words, Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund shares trade at around 36x 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.

Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 133.33% of net profits

Recently Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund has paid out, on average, around 133.33% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.3% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund shareholders could enjoy a 4.3% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.04 per share.

Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund'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 10 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.58 up to $0.94. 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 Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund's is 0.75. This would suggest that Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
