Is IOOF Holdings under- or over-valued?
Valuing IOOF Holdings stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of IOOF Holdings's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
IOOF Holdings's P/E ratio
IOOF Holdings's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, IOOF Holdings shares trade at around 21x 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.
IOOF Holdings's EBITDA
IOOF Holdings's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $207 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a IOOF Holdings's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

IOOF Holdings share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 171.73% of net profits
Recently IOOF Holdings has paid out, on average, around 171.73% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.35% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), IOOF Holdings shareholders could enjoy a 7.35% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In IOOF Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.23 per share.
IOOF 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 6 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
IOOF Holdings share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, IOOF Holdings's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.92 up to $8.45. 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 IOOF Holdings's is 1.8717. This would suggest that IOOF Holdings's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
