Is Keystone Investment Trust under- or over-valued?
Valuing Keystone Investment Trust stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Keystone Investment Trust's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Keystone Investment Trust's P/E ratio
Keystone Investment Trust's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 139x. In other words, Keystone Investment Trust shares trade at around 139x 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.
