Is FDM Group under- or over-valued?
Valuing FDM Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of FDM Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
FDM Group's P/E ratio
FDM 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 29x. In other words, FDM Group shares trade at around 29x 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.
FDM Group's EBITDA
FDM Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £55 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a FDM Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

FDM Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 10571.43% of net profits
Recently FDM Group has paid out, on average, around 10571.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.72% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), FDM Group shareholders could enjoy a 3.72% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In FDM Group's case, that would currently equate to about 0.37p per share.
FDM Group's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
FDM Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, FDM Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as 441.1348p up to 1208p. 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 FDM Group's is 1.2365. This would suggest that FDM Group's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
