Is it a good time to buy Freightways Group stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is Freightways Group under- or over-valued?

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

Freightways Group's P/E ratio

Freightways Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Freightways Group shares trade at around 19x 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.

Freightways Group's EBITDA

Freightways Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $170.8 million (£0.0 million).

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

Freightways Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Freightways Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.7312 up to $7.77. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

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