Is Columbus McKinnon Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Columbus McKinnon Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Columbus McKinnon Corporation'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.

Columbus McKinnon Corporation's PEG ratio

Columbus McKinnon Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.464. 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 Columbus McKinnon Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

10%

Dividend payout ratio: 9.76% of net profits

Recently Columbus McKinnon Corporation has paid out, on average, around 9.76% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.8% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Columbus McKinnon Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.8% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Columbus McKinnon Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.28 per share.

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

Columbus McKinnon Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 18 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

CMCO.US volatility(beta: 1.17)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 Columbus McKinnon Corporation's is 1.173. This would suggest that Columbus McKinnon Corporation's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
