Is BWP Trust under- or over-valued?
Valuing BWP Trust stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of BWP Trust's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
BWP Trust's P/E ratio
BWP Trust's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 60x. In other words, BWP Trust shares trade at around 60x 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.

BWP Trust share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 107.59% of net profits
Recently BWP Trust has paid out, on average, around 107.59% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BWP Trust shareholders could enjoy a 5.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BWP Trust's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.183 per share.
BWP Trust'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 29 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have BWP Trust's shares ever split?
BWP Trust's shares were split on a 1.0355:1 basis on 11 May 2009. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0355 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BWP Trust shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for BWP Trust shares which in turn could have impacted BWP Trust's share price.
BWP Trust share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, BWP Trust's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.24 up to $3.974. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while BWP Trust's is 0.542. This would suggest that BWP Trust's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
