Is Turners Automotive Group under- or over-valued?

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

Turners Automotive Group 's P/E ratio

Turners Automotive 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 9x. In other words, Turners Automotive Group shares trade at around 9x 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.

Turners Automotive Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 69.19% of net profits

Recently Turners Automotive Group has paid out, on average, around 69.19% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.28% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Turners Automotive Group shareholders could enjoy a 7.28% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Turners Automotive Group 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.15 per share.

Turners Automotive 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 8 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Turners Automotive Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Turners Automotive Group 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.4 up to $2.3. 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 Turners Automotive Group 's is 1.1515. This would suggest that Turners Automotive Group 's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
