Is Sopheon under- or over-valued?
Valuing Sopheon stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sopheon's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sopheon's P/E ratio
Sopheon's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 53x. In other words, Sopheon shares trade at around 53x 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.
Sopheon's EBITDA
Sopheon's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £2.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Sopheon's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Sopheon share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 24.51% of net profits
Recently Sopheon has paid out, on average, around 24.51% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.38% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sopheon shareholders could enjoy a 0.38% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sopheon's case, that would currently equate to about 0.03p per share.
While Sopheon's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Sopheon is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 June 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Sopheon's shares ever split?
Sopheon's shares were split on a 500:1 basis on 22 December 2014. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 500 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sopheon shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 99.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sopheon shares which in turn could have impacted Sopheon's share price.
Sopheon share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Sopheon's shares have ranged in value from as little as 477.8775p up to 975p. 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 Sopheon's is 0.9387. This would suggest that Sopheon's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
