Is Fiducian Group under- or over-valued?

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

Fiducian Group 's P/E ratio

Fiducian Group 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Fiducian Group shares trade at around 17x 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.

Fiducian Group 's EBITDA

Fiducian Group 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $17.3 million.

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

Fiducian Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 69.7% of net profits

Recently Fiducian Group has paid out, on average, around 69.7% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.02% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Fiducian Group shareholders could enjoy a 4.02% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Fiducian Group 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.23 per share.

Fiducian Group '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 27 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Fiducian Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Fiducian Group 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.51 up to $6.27. 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 Fiducian Group 's is 0.827. This would suggest that Fiducian Group 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
