Is Advanced Medical Solutions Group under- or over-valued?
Valuing Advanced Medical Solutions Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Advanced Medical Solutions Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Advanced Medical Solutions Group's P/E ratio
Advanced Medical Solutions Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 37x. In other words, Advanced Medical Solutions Group shares trade at around 37x 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.
Advanced Medical Solutions Group's PEG ratio
Advanced Medical Solutions Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.4323. 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 Advanced Medical Solutions Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Advanced Medical Solutions Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 24.45% of net profits
Recently Advanced Medical Solutions Group has paid out, on average, around 24.45% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.67% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Advanced Medical Solutions Group shareholders could enjoy a 0.67% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Advanced Medical Solutions Group's case, that would currently equate to about 0.02p per share.
While Advanced Medical Solutions Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Advanced Medical Solutions Group is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Advanced Medical Solutions Group's shares ever split?
Advanced Medical Solutions Group's shares were split on a 10000:1010 basis on 2 April 2002. So if you had owned 1010 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Advanced Medical Solutions Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 89.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Advanced Medical Solutions Group shares which in turn could have impacted Advanced Medical Solutions Group's share price.
Advanced Medical Solutions Group share price volatility
