Is Teck Resources under- or over-valued?

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

Teck Resources's P/E ratio

Teck Resources's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Teck Resources shares trade at around 4x recent earnings.

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

Teck Resources's PEG ratio

Teck Resources's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.02. 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 Teck Resources's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Teck Resources shares

There are currently 9.3 million Teck Resources shares held short by investors – that's known as Teck Resources's "short interest". This figure is 6.2% down from 9.9 million last month.

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

Teck Resources's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Teck Resources's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Teck Resources shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Teck Resources shares traded daily (recently around 4.5 million). Teck Resources's SIR currently stands at 2.08. In other words for every 100,000 Teck Resources shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2080 shares are currently held short.

However Teck Resources's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Teck Resources shares, or, against the total number of tradable Teck Resources shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Teck Resources's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Teck Resources shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Teck Resources shares, roughly 0 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 Teck Resources.

Teck Resources share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 25.18% of net profits

Recently Teck Resources has paid out, on average, around 25.18% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.9% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Teck Resources shareholders could enjoy a 0.9% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Teck Resources's case, that would currently equate to about $0.16 per share.

While Teck Resources's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Teck Resources may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Teck Resources's most recent dividend payout was on 31 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Teck Resources's shares ever split?

Teck Resources's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 May 2007. 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 Teck Resources shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Teck Resources shares which in turn could have impacted Teck Resources's share price.

Teck Resources share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Teck Resources's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.551 up to $18.95. 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 Teck Resources's is 1.4373. This would suggest that Teck Resources's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
