Is Embelton under- or over-valued?

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

Embelton 's P/E ratio

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

Embelton 's EBITDA

Embelton 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.4 million.

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

Embelton share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 27.78% of net profits

Recently Embelton has paid out, on average, around 27.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.48% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Embelton shareholders could enjoy a 3.48% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Embelton 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.4 per share.

While Embelton 's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Embelton 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 16 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
