Is Fletcher Building under- or over-valued?
Valuing Fletcher Building stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Fletcher Building's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Fletcher Building's P/E ratio
Fletcher Building's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 135x. In other words, Fletcher Building shares trade at around 135x 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.
Fletcher Building's PEG ratio
Fletcher Building's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.0187. 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 Fletcher Building's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Fletcher Building's EBITDA
Fletcher Building's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $847 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Fletcher Building's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Have Fletcher Building's shares ever split?
Fletcher Building's shares were split on a 2.3343:1 basis on 12 November 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2.3343 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fletcher Building shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 57.2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fletcher Building shares which in turn could have impacted Fletcher Building's share price.
Fletcher Building share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Fletcher Building's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.57 up to $5.0892. 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 Fletcher Building's is 1.011. This would suggest that Fletcher Building's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
