Is Virgin Money under- or over-valued?
Valuing Virgin Money stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Virgin Money's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Virgin Money's P/E ratio
Virgin Money's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3x. In other words, Virgin Money shares trade at around 3x 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.
Virgin Money's PEG ratio
Virgin Money's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.0774. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Virgin Money's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Virgin Money share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 2.28% of net profits
Recently Virgin Money has paid out, on average, around 2.28% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.91% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Virgin Money shareholders could enjoy a 2.91% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Virgin Money's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.035 per share.
While Virgin Money's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Virgin Money is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Virgin Money share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Virgin Money's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.14 up to $4.0811. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Virgin Money's is 2.0553. This would suggest that Virgin Money's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
