Is it a good time to buy Perpetual Equity Investment Company stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. This is not a recommendation, however. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is Perpetual Equity Investment Company under- or over-valued?

Valuing Perpetual Equity Investment Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's P/E ratio

Perpetual Equity Investment Company '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, Perpetual Equity Investment Company 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.

Perpetual Equity Investment Company share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 46.15% of net profits

Recently Perpetual Equity Investment Company has paid out, on average, around 46.15% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Perpetual Equity Investment Company shareholders could enjoy a 4.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.056 per share.

While Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Perpetual Equity Investment Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 April 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Perpetual Equity Investment Company share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.5599 up to $1.195. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's is 0.7005. This would suggest that Perpetual Equity Investment Company 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
