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

G.U.D. Holdings's P/E ratio

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.

G.U.D. Holdings share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 112% of net profits

Recently G.U.D. Holdings has paid out, on average, around 112% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.25% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), G.U.D. Holdings shareholders could enjoy a 2.25% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In G.U.D. Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.24 per share.

G.U.D. Holdings'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 12 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
