Is BioLife Solutions stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

BioLife Solutions's PEG ratio

BioLife Solutions's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 65.3833. 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 BioLife Solutions's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

BioLife Solutions share dividends

We're not expecting BioLife Solutions to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have BioLife Solutions's shares ever split?

BioLife Solutions's shares were split on a 1:14 basis on 28 January 2014. So if you had owned 14 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BioLife Solutions shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for BioLife Solutions shares which in turn could have impacted BioLife Solutions's share price.

BioLife Solutions share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BioLife Solutions's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.9201 up to $23.3. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

BLFS.US volatility(beta: 1.85)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 BioLife Solutions's is 1.847. This would suggest that BioLife Solutions's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
