Is US Student Housing REIT Unit under- or over-valued?

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

US Student Housing REIT Unit's P/E ratio

US Student Housing REIT Unit'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, US Student Housing REIT Unit 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.

US Student Housing REIT Unit share dividends

50%

Dividend payout ratio: 50.15% of net profits

Recently US Student Housing REIT Unit has paid out, on average, around 50.15% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.99% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), US Student Housing REIT Unit shareholders could enjoy a 4.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In US Student Housing REIT Unit's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.037 per share.

US Student Housing REIT Unit'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 22 November 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
