Is Camellia under- or over-valued?
Valuing Camellia stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Camellia's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Camellia's P/E ratio
Camellia's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Camellia shares trade at around 23x 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.
Camellia's EBITDA
Camellia's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £12.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Camellia's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

We're not expecting Camellia to pay a dividend over the next 12 months. However, you can browse other dividend-paying shares in our guide.
Have Camellia's shares ever split?
Camellia's shares were split on a 100:1 basis on 11 July 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 100 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Camellia shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 99% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Camellia shares which in turn could have impacted Camellia's share price.
Camellia share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Camellia's shares have ranged in value from as little as 6155.9041p up to 8864.5019p. 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 Camellia's is 0.5468. This would suggest that Camellia's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
