Is Forager Australian Shares Fund under- or over-valued?

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

Forager Australian Shares Fund's P/E ratio

Forager Australian Shares Fund'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, Forager Australian Shares Fund 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.

Forager Australian Shares Fund share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Forager Australian Shares Fund's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.5 up to $1.62. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
