Technical Analysis of TPG Corporation Limited by TradingView

Is TPG Telecom under- or over-valued?

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

TPG Telecom's P/E ratio

TPG Telecom's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, TPG Telecom shares trade at around 31x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14).

TPG Telecom's EBITDA

TPG Telecom's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $795.6 million (£0.0 million).

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

TPG Telecom share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 229.78% of net profits

Recently TPG Telecom has paid out, on average, around 229.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.57% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), TPG Telecom shareholders could enjoy a 0.57% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In TPG Telecom's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.05 per share.

TPG Telecom'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 29 June 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have TPG Telecom's shares ever split?

TPG Telecom 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 TPG Telecom's is 0.4. This would suggest that TPG Telecom's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
