Is Abcam under- or over-valued?
Valuing Abcam stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Abcam's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Abcam's P/E ratio
Abcam's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 283x. In other words, Abcam shares trade at around 283x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Abcam's EBITDA
Abcam's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £60.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Abcam's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Abcam share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 202.17% of net profits
Recently Abcam has paid out, on average, around 202.17% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Abcam shareholders could enjoy a 0.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Abcam's case, that would currently equate to about 0.12p per share.
Abcam'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.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 March 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Abcam's shares ever split?
Abcam's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 15 November 2010. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Abcam shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Abcam shares which in turn could have impacted Abcam's share price.
Abcam share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Abcam's shares have ranged in value from as little as 939.9511p up to 1735p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Abcam's is 0.4132. This would suggest that Abcam's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
