Is MCS Services under- or over-valued?
Valuing MCS Services stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MCS Services 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MCS Services 's P/E ratio
MCS Services 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, MCS Services shares trade at around 10x 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.
MCS Services 's EBITDA
MCS Services 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a MCS Services 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

MCS Services share dividends
We're not expecting MCS Services to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have MCS Services 's shares ever split?
MCS Services 's shares were split on a 1:44 basis on 21 December 2014. So if you had owned 44 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 MCS Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for MCS Services shares which in turn could have impacted MCS Services 's share price.
MCS Services share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, MCS Services 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.018 up to $0.065. 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 MCS Services 's is 1.2537. This would suggest that MCS Services 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
