Is Countrywide under- or over-valued?
Valuing Countrywide stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Countrywide's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Countrywide's P/E ratio
Countrywide's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 0x. In other words, Countrywide shares trade at around 0x 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.
Countrywide's EBITDA
Countrywide's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £24.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Countrywide's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Countrywide share dividends
We're not expecting Countrywide to pay a dividend over the next 12 months. However, you can browse other dividend-paying shares in our guide.
Have Countrywide's shares ever split?
Countrywide's shares were split on a 1:50 basis on 30 December 2019. So if you had owned 50 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 Countrywide shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Countrywide shares which in turn could have impacted Countrywide's share price.
Countrywide share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Countrywide's shares have ranged in value from as little as 38.6001p up to 361.5084p. 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 Countrywide's is 3.0724. This would suggest that Countrywide's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
