Valuing Consolidated Water Co stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Consolidated Water Co's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Consolidated Water Co's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Consolidated Water Co shares trade at around 13x 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.
Consolidated Water Co's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3721. 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 Consolidated Water Co's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Consolidated Water Co's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $47.3 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Consolidated Water Co's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 18.63% of net profits
Recently Consolidated Water Co has paid out, on average, around 18.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Consolidated Water Co shareholders could enjoy a 1.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Consolidated Water Co's case, that would currently equate to about $0.37 per share.
While Consolidated Water Co's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Consolidated Water Co is investing more in its future growth.
Consolidated Water Co's most recent dividend payout was on 30 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Consolidated Water Co's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 24 August 2005. 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 Consolidated Water Co shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Consolidated Water Co shares which in turn could have impacted Consolidated Water Co's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Consolidated Water Co's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.8285 up to $37.9329. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Consolidated Water Co's is 0.173. This would suggest that Consolidated Water Co's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
