Is Pacific Smiles Group under- or over-valued?
Valuing Pacific Smiles Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Pacific Smiles Group 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Pacific Smiles Group 's P/E ratio
Pacific Smiles 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 367x. In other words, Pacific Smiles Group shares trade at around 367x 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.

Pacific Smiles Group 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $18.5 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Pacific Smiles Group 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Pacific Smiles Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 600% of net profits
Recently Pacific Smiles Group has paid out, on average, around 600% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Pacific Smiles Group shareholders could enjoy a 2.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Pacific Smiles Group 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0 per share.
Pacific Smiles Group '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 24 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Pacific Smiles Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Pacific Smiles Group 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.3925 up to $3.08. 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 Pacific Smiles Group 's is 1.1916. This would suggest that Pacific Smiles Group 's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
