Is IGO under- or over-valued?

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

IGO's P/E ratio

IGO's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, IGO shares trade at around 18x 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.

IGO's EBITDA

IGO's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $219.4 million (£0.0 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of a IGO's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

IGO share dividends

44%

Dividend payout ratio: 44.01% of net profits

Recently IGO has paid out, on average, around 44.01% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.31% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), IGO shareholders could enjoy a 9.31% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In IGO's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.55 per share.

While IGO's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that IGO may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

IGO share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, IGO's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.43 up to $14.5184. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

IGO.AU volatility(beta: 0.76)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while IGO's is 0.764. This would suggest that IGO's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
