Is Capitala Finance stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Capitala Finance's P/E ratio

Capitala Finance'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, Capitala Finance 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.

Capitala Finance's PEG ratio

Capitala Finance's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.55. 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 Capitala Finance's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

We're not expecting Capitala Finance to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Capitala Finance's shares ever split?

Capitala Finance's shares were split on a 1:6 basis on 23 August 2020. So if you had owned 6 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Capitala Finance shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 500% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Capitala Finance shares which in turn could have impacted Capitala Finance's share price.

Capitala Finance share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Capitala Finance's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

CPTA.US volatility(beta: 1.92)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 Capitala Finance's is 1.9239. This would suggest that Capitala Finance's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
