Is Tracsis under- or over-valued?
Valuing Tracsis stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tracsis's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Tracsis's P/E ratio
Tracsis's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 65x. In other words, Tracsis shares trade at around 65x 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.
Tracsis's EBITDA
Tracsis's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £7.8 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Tracsis's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Tracsis share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 1000% of net profits
Recently Tracsis has paid out, on average, around 1000% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.13% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Tracsis shareholders could enjoy a 0.13% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Tracsis's case, that would currently equate to about 0.02p per share.
Tracsis'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 30 January 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Tracsis share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Tracsis's shares have ranged in value from as little as 420p up to 840p. 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 Tracsis's is 1.0005. This would suggest that Tracsis'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).
