Is Darling Ingredients stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Darling Ingredients's P/E ratio

Darling Ingredients's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Darling Ingredients shares trade at around 11x 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.

Darling Ingredients's PEG ratio

Darling Ingredients's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 14.47. 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 Darling Ingredients's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Darling Ingredients's EBITDA

Darling Ingredients's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $976.8 million.

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

Have Darling Ingredients's shares ever split?

Darling Ingredients's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 9 November 1997. So if you had owned 1 share 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 Darling Ingredients shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Darling Ingredients shares which in turn could have impacted Darling Ingredients's share price.

Darling Ingredients share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Darling Ingredients's shares have ranged in value from as little as $33.94 up to $71.6. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

DAR.US volatility(beta: 1.26)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Darling Ingredients's is 1.257. This would suggest that Darling Ingredients's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
