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

Dividend payout ratio: 2.21% of net profits
Recently WAM Capital has paid out, on average, around 2.21% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 10.26% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), WAM Capital shareholders could enjoy a 10.26% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In WAM Capital 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.155 per share.
While WAM Capital 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that WAM Capital is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 October 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, WAM Capital 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.39 up to $1.77. 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 WAM Capital 's is 0.3782. This would suggest that WAM Capital 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
