Is Westoz Investment Company under- or over-valued?
Valuing Westoz Investment Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Westoz Investment Company 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Westoz Investment Company 's P/E ratio
Westoz Investment Company 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Westoz Investment Company shares trade at around 10x 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.

Westoz Investment Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 50% of net profits
Recently Westoz Investment Company has paid out, on average, around 50% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.24% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Westoz Investment Company shareholders could enjoy a 5.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Westoz Investment Company 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.06 per share.
Westoz Investment Company '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 31 January 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Westoz Investment Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Westoz Investment Company 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.8335 up to $1.3009. 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 Westoz Investment Company 's is 1.0553. This would suggest that Westoz Investment Company 's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
