Is Invocare under- or over-valued?
Valuing Invocare stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Invocare's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Invocare's P/E ratio
Invocare's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 91x. In other words, Invocare shares trade at around 91x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Invocare's PEG ratio
Invocare's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.17. 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 Invocare's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Invocare's EBITDA
Invocare's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $79.9 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Invocare's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Invocare share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 7.1% of net profits
Recently Invocare has paid out, on average, around 7.1% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.74% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Invocare shareholders could enjoy a 1.74% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Invocare's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.11 per share.
While Invocare's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Invocare is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 November 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Invocare share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Invocare's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.5931 up to $12.67. 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 Invocare's is 0.637. This would suggest that Invocare's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
