Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Costain Group P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Costain 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 6x. In other words, Costain Group shares trade at around 6x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Costain Group's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the engineering & construction industry or those of similar companies.
Costain Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £41.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Costain Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
