Is it a good time to buy Garda Property Group 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 Garda Property Group under- or over-valued?

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

Garda Property Group's P/E ratio

Garda Property 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 16x. In other words, Garda Property Group shares trade at around 16x 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.

Garda Property Group's EBITDA

Garda Property Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $18.6 million (£0.0 million).

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

Garda Property Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 255% of net profits

Recently Garda Property Group has paid out, on average, around 255% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.1% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Garda Property Group shareholders could enjoy a 6.1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Garda Property Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.076 per share.

Garda Property 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 29 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Garda Property Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Garda Property Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.7615 up to $1.2815. 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 Garda Property Group's is 0.5787. This would suggest that Garda Property Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
