Is Orbital Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing Orbital Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Orbital Corporation 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Orbital Corporation 's P/E ratio
Orbital 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 150x. In other words, Orbital Corporation shares trade at around 150x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Orbital Corporation 's EBITDA

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

Orbital Corporation share dividends
We're not expecting Orbital Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Orbital Corporation 's shares ever split?
Orbital Corporation 's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 31 October 2010. 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 Orbital Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Orbital Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Orbital Corporation 's share price.
