Is Centuria Office under- or over-valued?
Valuing Centuria Office stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Centuria Office's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Centuria Office's P/E ratio
Centuria Office's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Centuria Office shares trade at around 8x 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.

Centuria Office share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 75.45% of net profits
Recently Centuria Office has paid out, on average, around 75.45% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.6% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Centuria Office shareholders could enjoy a 9.6% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Centuria Office's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.166 per share.
Centuria Office'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 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Centuria Office share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Centuria Office's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.69 up to $2.4756. 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 Centuria Office's is 0.8889. This would suggest that Centuria Office's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
