Is Emeco Holdings under- or over-valued?

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

Emeco Holdings 's P/E ratio

Emeco Holdings 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Emeco Holdings shares trade at around 4x 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.

Emeco Holdings 's EBITDA

Emeco Holdings 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $222.6 million (£0.0 million).

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

Emeco Holdings share dividends

We're not expecting Emeco Holdings to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Emeco Holdings 's shares ever split?

Emeco Holdings 's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 19 November 2018. So if you had owned 10 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 Emeco Holdings shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Emeco Holdings shares which in turn could have impacted Emeco Holdings 's share price.

Emeco Holdings share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Emeco Holdings 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.63 up to $2.55. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

EHL.AU volatility(beta: 1.72)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Emeco Holdings 's is 1.7186. This would suggest that Emeco Holdings 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
