Is Lendlease under- or over-valued?

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

Lendlease's P/E ratio

Lendlease's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Lendlease shares trade at around 22x 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.

Lendlease's PEG ratio

Lendlease's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.27. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Lendlease's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Lendlease's EBITDA

Lendlease's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $319 million.

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

Lendlease share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 31.09% of net profits

Recently Lendlease has paid out, on average, around 31.09% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Lendlease shareholders could enjoy a 0.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lendlease's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.07 per share.

While Lendlease's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Lendlease 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 20 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
