Is Compumedics under- or over-valued?

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

Compumedics's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Compumedics shares trade at around 23x 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.

Compumedics's EBITDA
