Is it a good time to buy Waypoint REIT stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. This is not a recommendation, however. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is Waypoint REIT under- or over-valued?

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

Waypoint REIT 's P/E ratio

Waypoint REIT 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Waypoint REIT shares trade at around 7x 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.

Waypoint REIT share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 1.94% of net profits

Recently Waypoint REIT has paid out, on average, around 1.94% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.8% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Waypoint REIT shareholders could enjoy a 5.8% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Waypoint REIT 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.151 per share.

While Waypoint REIT 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Waypoint REIT is investing more in its future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 June 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Waypoint REIT share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Waypoint REIT 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.2529 up to $2.7109. 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 Waypoint REIT 's is 0.1859. This would suggest that Waypoint REIT 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
