Is UCW under- or over-valued?
Valuing UCW stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of UCW 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
UCW 's P/E ratio
UCW 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, UCW shares trade at around 28x 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.
UCW 's EBITDA
UCW 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.6 million (£2 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a UCW 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

UCW share dividends
We're not expecting UCW to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have UCW 's shares ever split?
UCW 's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 12 November 2017. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your UCW shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for UCW shares which in turn could have impacted UCW 's share price.
UCW share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, UCW 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.084 up to $0.23. 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 UCW 's is 0.883. This would suggest that UCW 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
