Is Simulations Plus stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Simulations Plus stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Simulations Plus's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Simulations Plus's P/E ratio
Simulations Plus's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 82x. In other words, Simulations Plus shares trade at around 82x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Simulations Plus's PEG ratio
Simulations Plus's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 9.7712. 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 Simulations Plus's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Simulations Plus's EBITDA
Simulations Plus's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $13.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Simulations Plus's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Simulations Plus share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 51.06% of net profits
Recently Simulations Plus has paid out, on average, around 51.06% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.61% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Simulations Plus shareholders could enjoy a 0.61% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Simulations Plus's case, that would currently equate to about $0.24 per share.
Simulations Plus's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Simulations Plus's most recent dividend payout was on 4 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Simulations Plus's shares ever split?
Simulations Plus's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 October 2007. 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 Simulations Plus shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Simulations Plus shares which in turn could have impacted Simulations Plus's share price.
Simulations Plus share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Simulations Plus's shares have ranged in value from as little as $32.597 up to $52.4456. 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 Simulations Plus's is 0.714. This would suggest that Simulations Plus's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
