Is Elders under- or over-valued?
Valuing Elders stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Elders's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Elders's P/E ratio
Elders's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Elders shares trade at around 21x 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.
Elders's EBITDA
Elders's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $125.8 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Elders's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

N/AElders share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 113.3% of net profits
Recently Elders has paid out, on average, around 113.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Elders shareholders could enjoy a 4.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Elders's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.41 per share.
Elders'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 27 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Elders's shares ever split?
Elders's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 21 December 2014. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Elders shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Elders shares which in turn could have impacted Elders's share price.
Elders share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Elders's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.1769 up to $20.81. 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 Elders's is 0.154. This would suggest that Elders's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
