Is CSR under- or over-valued?
Valuing CSR stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CSR's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CSR's P/E ratio
CSR's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, CSR shares trade at around 18x 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.
CSR's EBITDA
CSR's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $225.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CSR's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

CSR share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 42.19% of net profits
Recently CSR has paid out, on average, around 42.19% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.36% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CSR shareholders could enjoy a 5.36% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CSR's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.23 per share.
While CSR's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that CSR 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 27 May 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have CSR's shares ever split?
CSR's shares were split on a 1:3 basis on 17 February 2011. So if you had owned 3 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 CSR shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 200% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for CSR shares which in turn could have impacted CSR's share price.
CSR share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, CSR's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.2973 up to $6.3753. 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 CSR's is 0.8078. This would suggest that CSR's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
