Is Dacian Gold under- or over-valued?

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

Dacian Gold 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 108x. In other words, Dacian Gold shares trade at around 108x 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.

Dacian Gold 's EBITDA

Dacian Gold 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $54.5 million (£0.0 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Dacian Gold 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
