Is PPK Group under- or over-valued?

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

PPK Group 's P/E ratio

PPK 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 39x. In other words, PPK Group shares trade at around 39x 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.

PPK Group 's EBITDA

PPK Group 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $10.5 million.

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

PPK Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 10% of net profits

Recently PPK Group has paid out, on average, around 10% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.51% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), PPK Group shareholders could enjoy a 0.51% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PPK Group 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.02 per share.

While PPK Group 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that PPK Group is investing more in its future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

PPK Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, PPK Group 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.7 up to $7.6. 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 PPK Group 's is 1.8116. This would suggest that PPK Group 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
