Is MFF Capital Investments under- or over-valued?

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

MFF Capital Investments 's P/E ratio

MFF Capital Investments 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 57x. In other words, MFF Capital Investments shares trade at around 57x 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.

MFF Capital Investments share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 510% of net profits

Recently MFF Capital Investments has paid out, on average, around 510% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.33% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MFF Capital Investments shareholders could enjoy a 2.33% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MFF Capital Investments 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.06 per share.

MFF Capital Investments 's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
