Is Motorpoint Group under- or over-valued?
Valuing Motorpoint Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Motorpoint Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Motorpoint Group's P/E ratio
Motorpoint 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 17x. In other words, Motorpoint Group shares trade at around 17x 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.
Motorpoint Group's EBITDA
Motorpoint Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £24.1 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Motorpoint Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Motorpoint Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 1529.41% of net profits
Recently Motorpoint Group has paid out, on average, around 1529.41% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.3% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Motorpoint Group shareholders could enjoy a 2.3% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Motorpoint Group's case, that would currently equate to about 0.05p per share.
Motorpoint 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 February 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Motorpoint Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Motorpoint Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as 170p up to 321.3509p. 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 Motorpoint Group's is 1.1847. This would suggest that Motorpoint 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).
