Is Simonds Group under- or over-valued?

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

Simonds Group 's P/E ratio

Simonds 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 8x. In other words, Simonds Group shares trade at around 8x 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.

Simonds Group 's EBITDA

Simonds Group 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $15.3 million.

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