Is MNF Group under- or over-valued?

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

MNF Group's P/E ratio

MNF Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, MNF Group shares trade at around 34x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14).

MNF Group's EBITDA

MNF Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $28.1 million.

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

MNF Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 40.67% of net profits

Recently MNF Group has paid out, on average, around 40.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.27% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MNF Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.27% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MNF Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.06 per share.

While MNF Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that MNF Group 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 3 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

MNF Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, MNF Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.77 up to $6.2. 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 MNF Group's is 0.3073. This would suggest that MNF Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
