Is New Hope Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing New Hope Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of New Hope Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
New Hope Corporation's P/E ratio
New Hope Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, New Hope Corporation shares trade at around 4x 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.
New Hope Corporation's EBITDA
New Hope Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.8 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a New Hope Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

New Hope Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 16.03% of net profits
Recently New Hope Corporation has paid out, on average, around 16.03% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), New Hope Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 7.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In New Hope Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.51 per share.
While New Hope Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that New Hope Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 October 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have New Hope Corporation's shares ever split?
New Hope Corporation's shares were split on a 1.0232:1 basis on 21 October 2008. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0232 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your New Hope Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 2.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for New Hope Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted New Hope Corporation's share price.
New Hope Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, New Hope Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.4572 up to $6.6721. 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 New Hope Corporation's is 0.377. This would suggest that New Hope Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
