Is National Storage REIT under- or over-valued?
Valuing National Storage REIT stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of National Storage REIT's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
National Storage REIT's P/E ratio
National Storage REIT's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, National Storage REIT shares trade at around 9x 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.
National Storage REIT's EBITDA
National Storage REIT's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $191.6 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a National Storage REIT's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

National Storage REIT share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 73.33% of net profits
Recently National Storage REIT has paid out, on average, around 73.33% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.82% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), National Storage REIT shareholders could enjoy a 4.82% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In National Storage REIT's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.11 per share.
National Storage REIT'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 29 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
National Storage REIT share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, National Storage REIT's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.9875 up to $2.5599. 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 National Storage REIT's is 0.619. This would suggest that National Storage REIT's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
