Is it worth buying Coinbase Global stock?
Valuing Coinbase Global stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Coinbase Global's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Coinbase Global's P/E ratio
Coinbase Global's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Coinbase Global shares trade at around 24x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Coinbase Global's PEG ratio
Coinbase Global's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.7793. 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 Coinbase Global's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Coinbase Global's EBITDA
Coinbase Global's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$2.4 billion (£1.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Coinbase Global's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Coinbase Global share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Coinbase Global's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$142.58 up to US$444.645. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Coinbase Global's is 3.675. This would suggest that Coinbase Global's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
