Is it a good time to buy Z Energy 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 Z Energy under- or over-valued?

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

Z Energy 's P/E ratio

Z Energy 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Z Energy shares trade at around 25x 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.

Z Energy 's PEG ratio

Z Energy 's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0035. 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 Z Energy 's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Z Energy 's EBITDA

Z Energy 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $219.6 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Z Energy 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Z Energy share dividends

We're not expecting Z Energy to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Z Energy share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Z Energy 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.2331 up to $3.0694. 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 Z Energy 's is 0.8891. This would suggest that Z Energy 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
