Is Covanta Holding under- or over-valued?

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.

P/E ratio

Covanta Holding's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 108x. In other words, Covanta Holding shares trade at around 108x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

EBITDA

Covanta Holding's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $349 million (£0.0 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Covanta Holding's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Covanta Holding share dividends

• Dividend yield
• Forward yield
• Payout ratio

Covanta Holding has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.58% of its share value annually.

Covanta Holding has paid out, on average, around 4.28% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.58% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.58% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Covanta Holding's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.

While Covanta Holding's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

Covanta Holding's most recent dividend payout was on 15 October 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 October 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

This would suggest that Covanta Holding's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
