Is Seven Group Holdings under- or over-valued?

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.

Seven Group Holdings share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 42.86% of net profits

Recently Seven Group Holdings has paid out, on average, around 42.86% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.02% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Seven Group Holdings shareholders could enjoy a 2.02% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Seven Group Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.42 per share.

While Seven Group Holdings's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Seven Group Holdings 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 16 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Seven Group Holdings share price volatility

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Seven Group Holdings's is 1.6392. This would suggest that Seven Group Holdings's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
