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.

EQB's P/E ratio

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

EQB's PEG ratio

EQB's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.27. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

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

EQB stock dividends

8%

Dividend payout ratio: 8.4% of net profits

Recently EQB has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% 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 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In EQB's case, that would currently equate to about C$1.32 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 26 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 12 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have EQB's stocks ever split?

EQB's stocks 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 stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for EQB stocks, which in turn could have impacted EQB's stock price.

EQB stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, EQB's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$74.6525 up to C$111.95. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

EQB.TO volatility(beta: 1.6)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (TO average) beta is 1, while EQB's is 1.603. This would suggest that EQB's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
