Is EQB stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Revenue TTM C$818.8 million
Operating margin TTM 47.72%
Gross profit TTM C$744.9 million
Return on assets TTM 0.63%

EQB share dividends

14%

Dividend payout ratio: 13.94% of net profits

Recently EQB has paid out, on average, around 13.94% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), EQB shareholders could enjoy a 2.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In EQB's case, that would currently equate to about C$1.28 per share.

While EQB's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that EQB is investing more in its future growth.

EQB's most recent dividend payout was on 29 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have EQB's shares ever split?

EQB's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 25 October 2021. 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 EQB shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for EQB shares which in turn could have impacted EQB's share price.

EQB share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, EQB's shares have ranged in value from as little as C$44.2869 up to C$69.5699. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

EQB.TO volatility(beta: 1.74)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (TO average) beta is 1, while EQB's is 1.7435. This would suggest that EQB's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
