Is Georgia Healthcare Group under- or over-valued?
Valuing Georgia Healthcare Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Georgia Healthcare Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Georgia Healthcare Group's P/E ratio
Georgia Healthcare 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 16x. In other words, Georgia Healthcare Group shares trade at around 16x 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.

Georgia Healthcare Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 28.84% of net profits
Recently Georgia Healthcare Group has paid out, on average, around 28.84% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Georgia Healthcare Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Georgia Healthcare Group's case, that would currently equate to about £0.01 per share.
While Georgia Healthcare Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Georgia Healthcare Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 June 2019 (the "ex-dividend date").
Georgia Healthcare Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Georgia Healthcare Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as £60 up to £147. 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 Georgia Healthcare Group's is 0.4029. This would suggest that Georgia Healthcare Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
