Is ChipMOS Technologies stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

ChipMOS Technologies share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 138.92% of net profits

Recently ChipMOS Technologies has paid out, on average, around 138.92% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 11.07% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), ChipMOS Technologies shareholders could enjoy a 11.07% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ChipMOS Technologies's case, that would currently equate to about $2.3 per share.

ChipMOS Technologies'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.

ChipMOS Technologies's most recent dividend payout was on 27 July 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have ChipMOS Technologies's shares ever split?

ChipMOS Technologies's shares were split on a 10000:9355 basis on 31 October 2016. So if you had owned 9355 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your ChipMOS Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ChipMOS Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted ChipMOS Technologies's share price.

ChipMOS Technologies share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, ChipMOS Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.5 up to $31.585. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

IMOS.US volatility(beta: 0.74)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while ChipMOS Technologies's is 0.7354. This would suggest that ChipMOS Technologies's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
