Is Prime Financial Group under- or over-valued?

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

Prime Financial Group 's P/E ratio

Prime Financial 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 7x. In other words, Prime Financial Group shares trade at around 7x 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.

Prime Financial Group 's EBITDA

Prime Financial Group 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.6 million.

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

Prime Financial Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 45% of net profits

Recently Prime Financial Group has paid out, on average, around 45% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.67% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Prime Financial Group shareholders could enjoy a 6.67% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Prime Financial Group 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.01 per share.

While Prime Financial Group 's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Prime Financial Group 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 1 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Prime Financial Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Prime Financial Group 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.04 up to $0.08. 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 Prime Financial Group 's is 0.9815. This would suggest that Prime Financial Group 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
