Is Wisetech Global under- or over-valued?

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

Wisetech Global's P/E ratio

Wisetech 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 133x. In other words, Wisetech Global shares trade at around 133x 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.

Wisetech Global's EBITDA

Wisetech Global's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $368.4 million (£0.0 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Wisetech Global's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Wisetech Global share dividends

22%

Dividend payout ratio: 22.46% of net profits

Recently Wisetech Global has paid out, on average, around 22.46% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Wisetech Global shareholders could enjoy a 0.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Wisetech Global's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.161 per share.

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

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Wisetech Global share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Wisetech Global's shares have ranged in value from as little as $57.7428 up to $97.69. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

WTC.AU volatility(beta: 0.86)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Wisetech Global's is 0.859. This would suggest that Wisetech Global's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
