Is Mortgage Choice under- or over-valued?
Valuing Mortgage Choice stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Mortgage Choice 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Mortgage Choice 's P/E ratio
Mortgage Choice 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, Mortgage Choice shares trade at around 26x 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.
Mortgage Choice 's EBITDA
Mortgage Choice 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $14.1 million (£8 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Mortgage Choice 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Mortgage Choice share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 2.5% of net profits
Recently Mortgage Choice has paid out, on average, around 2.5% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.1% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Mortgage Choice shareholders could enjoy a 4.1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Mortgage Choice 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.075 per share.
While Mortgage Choice 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Mortgage Choice is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Mortgage Choice share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Mortgage Choice 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.95 up to $1.95. 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 Mortgage Choice 's is 0.8734. This would suggest that Mortgage Choice 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
