Is Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum under- or over-valued?
Valuing Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 48.35
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's overall score of 48.35 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 95th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's environmental score
Environmental score: 24.77/100
Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's environmental score of 24.77 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's social score
Social score: 17.67/100
Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's social score of 17.67 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Recently Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum has paid out, on average, around 11.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.84% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum shareholders could enjoy a 1.84% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's case, that would currently equate to about $2.938 per share.
While Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum is investing more in its future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum shares which in turn could have impacted Reliance Steel-and-Aluminum's share price.
