Is Melbana Energy under- or over-valued?
Valuing Melbana Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Melbana Energy 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Melbana Energy 's P/E ratio
Melbana Energy 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Melbana Energy shares trade at around 19x 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.

Have Melbana Energy 's shares ever split?
Melbana Energy 's shares were split on 7 August 2006. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Melbana Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new INF% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Melbana Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Melbana Energy 's share price.
Melbana Energy share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Melbana Energy 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.017 up to $0.215. 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 Melbana Energy 's is 1.4024. This would suggest that Melbana Energy 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
