Is Mineral Resources under- or over-valued?

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

Mineral Resources's P/E ratio

Mineral Resources's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Mineral Resources shares trade at around 5x 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.

Mineral Resources's EBITDA

Mineral Resources's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $627.9 million (£0.0 million).

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

Mineral Resources share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 10.13% of net profits

Recently Mineral Resources has paid out, on average, around 10.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.68% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Mineral Resources shareholders could enjoy a 3.68% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Mineral Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$1 per share.

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

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
