Eastern stock price (NASDAQ: EML)

Is it a good time to buy Eastern stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. This is not a recommendation, however. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

This chart is not advice or a guarantee of success. Rather, it gauges the real-time recommendations of three popular technical indicators: moving averages, oscillators and pivots. Finder is not responsible for how your stock performs.

Is Eastern stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Eastern's P/E ratio

Eastern's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Eastern shares trade at around 16x 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.

Eastern's EBITDA

Eastern's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $17.2 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Eastern's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Eastern share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 28.93% of net profits

Recently Eastern 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), Eastern shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eastern's case, that would currently equate to about $0.44 per share.

While Eastern's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Eastern may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Eastern's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Eastern's shares ever split?

Eastern's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 17 October 2006 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Eastern shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Eastern shares which in turn could have impacted Eastern's share price.

Eastern share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Eastern's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.49 up to $31.0751. 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 Eastern's is 0.991. This would suggest that Eastern's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
