Is Mitchell Services under- or over-valued?
Valuing Mitchell Services stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Mitchell Services 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Mitchell Services 's P/E ratio
Mitchell 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 13x. In other words, Mitchell Services shares trade at around 13x 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.
Mitchell Services 's EBITDA
Mitchell Services 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $30.4 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Mitchell Services 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Mitchell Services share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 36.67% of net profits
Recently Mitchell Services has paid out, on average, around 36.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Mitchell Services shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Mitchell Services 's case, that would currently equate to about A$N/A per share.
While Mitchell Services 's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Mitchell Services may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 June 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Mitchell Services 's shares ever split?
Mitchell Services 's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 7 February 2020. So if you had owned 10 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 Mitchell Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Mitchell Services shares which in turn could have impacted Mitchell Services 's share price.
Mitchell Services share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Mitchell Services 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.26 up to $0.67. 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 Mitchell Services 's is 1.4982. This would suggest that Mitchell 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).
