Is Solid State under- or over-valued?
Valuing Solid State stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Solid State's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Solid State's P/E ratio
Solid State's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Solid State shares trade at around 18x 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.
Solid State's EBITDA
Solid State's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Solid State's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Solid State share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 1953.13% of net profits
Recently Solid State has paid out, on average, around 1953.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.77% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Solid State shareholders could enjoy a 1.77% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Solid State's case, that would currently equate to about 0.12p per share.
Solid State'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 28 January 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Solid State share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Solid State's shares have ranged in value from as little as 227.3822p up to 702.6p. 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 Solid State's is 1.3912. This would suggest that Solid State's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
