Is Barnes Group under- or over-valued?

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

Barnes Group's P/E ratio

Barnes 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 49x. In other words, Barnes Group shares trade at around 49x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Barnes Group's PEG ratio

Barnes Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6323. 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 Barnes Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Barnes Group's EBITDA

Barnes Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $209.8 million.

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

Shorting Barnes Group shares

There are currently 431,182 Barnes Group shares held short by investors – that's known as Barnes Group's "short interest". This figure is 30.2% down from 618,172 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Barnes Group shares can be evaluated.

Barnes Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Barnes Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Barnes Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Barnes Group shares traded daily (recently around 158522.79411765). Barnes Group's SIR currently stands at 2.72. In other words for every 100,000 Barnes Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2720 shares are currently held short.

However Barnes Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Barnes Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Barnes Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Barnes Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Barnes Group shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0091% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Barnes Group shares, roughly 9 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Barnes Group.

Barnes Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 61.54% of net profits

Recently Barnes Group has paid out, on average, around 61.54% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.28% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Barnes Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.28% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Barnes Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.64 per share.

Barnes Group'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.

Barnes Group's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Barnes Group's shares ever split?

Barnes Group's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 June 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Barnes Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Barnes Group shares which in turn could have impacted Barnes Group's share price.

Barnes Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Barnes Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $33.2676 up to $57.4569. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Barnes Group's is 1.2563. This would suggest that Barnes Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
