Is Sunland Group under- or over-valued?

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

Sunland Group 's P/E ratio

Sunland 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 76x. In other words, Sunland Group shares trade at around 76x 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.

Sunland Group 's EBITDA

Sunland Group 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.3 million.

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

Sunland Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 150% of net profits

Recently Sunland Group has paid out, on average, around 150% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.18% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sunland Group shareholders could enjoy a 7.18% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sunland Group 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.14 per share.

Sunland Group 's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Sunland Group 's shares ever split?

Sunland Group 's shares were split on a 103:100 basis on 1 March 2004. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 103 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sunland Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 2.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sunland Group shares which in turn could have impacted Sunland Group 's share price.

Sunland Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Sunland Group 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.9 up to $1.8. 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 Sunland Group 's is 0.8276. This would suggest that Sunland Group 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
