Alternative ways to invest in Kaman
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Kaman), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Kaman is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Is it a good time to buy Kaman stock?
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Use our graph to track the performance of KAMN stocks over time.
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Kaman's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.8302 up to $46. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Kaman's is 1.191. This would suggest that Kaman'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).

Is Kaman 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. Check out the Kaman P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Kaman's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 164x. In other words, Kaman shares trade at around 164x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Kaman's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.24. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Kaman's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Kaman's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $105.4 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Kaman's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
