Is Downer Edi under- or over-valued?
Valuing Downer Edi stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Downer Edi's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Downer Edi's PEG ratio
Downer Edi's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 10.24. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Downer Edi's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Downer Edi's EBITDA
Downer Edi's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $347.5 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Downer Edi's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Downer Edi share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 130% of net profits
Recently Downer Edi has paid out, on average, around 130% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.06% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Downer Edi shareholders could enjoy a 3.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Downer Edi's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.13 per share.
Downer Edi'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 23 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Downer Edi's shares ever split?
Downer Edi's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 21 November 2003. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Downer Edi shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Downer Edi shares which in turn could have impacted Downer Edi's share price.
Downer Edi share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Downer Edi's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.8693 up to $4.9947. 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 Downer Edi's is 1.503. This would suggest that Downer Edi's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
