Is Link Administration Holdings under- or over-valued?
Valuing Link Administration Holdings stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Link Administration Holdings's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Link Administration Holdings's P/E ratio
Link Administration 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 3x. In other words, Link Administration Holdings shares trade at around 3x 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.
Link Administration Holdings's EBITDA
Link Administration Holdings's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $188.7 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Link Administration Holdings's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Link Administration Holdings share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 12.17% of net profits
Recently Link Administration Holdings has paid out, on average, around 12.17% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.59% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Link Administration Holdings shareholders could enjoy a 3.59% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Link Administration Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.04 per share.
While Link Administration Holdings's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Link Administration Holdings is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Link Administration Holdings share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Link Administration Holdings's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.065 up to $2.25. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Link Administration Holdings's is 1.273. This would suggest that Link Administration 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).
