Is it a good time to buy Future Generation Investment Company stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. This is not a recommendation, however. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is Future Generation Investment Company under- or over-valued?

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

Future Generation Investment Company 's P/E ratio

Future Generation Investment Company 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Future Generation Investment Company shares trade at around 30x 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.

Future Generation Investment Company 's EBITDA

Future Generation Investment Company 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $22.4 million (£0.0 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Future Generation Investment Company 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Future Generation Investment Company share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 260% of net profits

Recently Future Generation Investment Company has paid out, on average, around 260% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.16% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Future Generation Investment Company shareholders could enjoy a 4.16% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Future Generation Investment Company 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.052 per share.

Future Generation Investment Company '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 18 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Future Generation Investment Company 's shares ever split?

Future Generation Investment Company 's shares were split on a 1:220 basis on 17 August 2014. So if you had owned 220 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 Future Generation Investment Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 21900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Future Generation Investment Company shares which in turn could have impacted Future Generation Investment Company 's share price.
