Is it a good time to buy McPherson's stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. This is not a recommendation, however. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is McPherson's under- or over-valued?

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

McPherson's 's P/E ratio

McPherson's 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 82x. In other words, McPherson's shares trade at around 82x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

McPherson's 's EBITDA

McPherson's 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $20.5 million.

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

McPherson's share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 10.5% of net profits

Recently McPherson's has paid out, on average, around 10.5% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.68% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), McPherson's shareholders could enjoy a 9.68% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In McPherson's 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.105 per share.

While McPherson's 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that McPherson's is investing more in its future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have McPherson's 's shares ever split?

McPherson's 's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 13 June 1996. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your McPherson's shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for McPherson's shares which in turn could have impacted McPherson's 's share price.

McPherson's share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, McPherson's 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.055 up to $3.2312. 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 McPherson's 's is 0.1994. This would suggest that McPherson's 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
