Is NWF Group under- or over-valued?
Valuing NWF Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of NWF Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
NWF Group's P/E ratio
NWF 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 11x. In other words, NWF Group shares trade at around 11x 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.
NWF Group's EBITDA
NWF Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £18 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a NWF Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

NWF Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 3833.33% of net profits
Recently NWF Group has paid out, on average, around 3833.33% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.45% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), NWF Group shareholders could enjoy a 3.45% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NWF Group's case, that would currently equate to about 0.07p per share.
NWF 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 5 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have NWF Group's shares ever split?
NWF Group's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 5 October 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your NWF Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for NWF Group shares which in turn could have impacted NWF Group's share price.
NWF Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, NWF Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as 108.6148p up to 211.3011p. 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 NWF Group's is 0.3964. This would suggest that NWF Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
