Is Image Resources NL under- or over-valued?

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

Image Resources NL's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Image Resources NL shares trade at around 8x 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.

Image Resources NL's EBITDA

Recently Image Resources NL has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 10.53% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Image Resources NL shareholders could enjoy a 10.53% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Image Resources NL's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.02 per share.

Image Resources NL'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.
