Is Marlowe under- or over-valued?
Valuing Marlowe stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Marlowe's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Marlowe's P/E ratio
Marlowe's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1917x. In other words, Marlowe shares trade at around 1917x 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.
Marlowe's EBITDA
Marlowe's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £17 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Marlowe's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Marlowe share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Marlowe's shares have ranged in value from as little as 315p up to 589.48p. 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 Marlowe's is 1.0553. This would suggest that Marlowe'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).
