Is Vedanta under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.

P/E ratio

Vedanta's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, Vedanta shares trade at around 6x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

EBITDA

Vedanta's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $372.6 billion (£336.1 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Vedanta's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Do Vedanta shares pay dividends?

• Dividend yield
• Forward yield
• Payout ratio

Vedanta has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 9.05% of its share value annually.

Vedanta has paid out, on average, around 1.81% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 9.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vedanta's case, that would currently equate to about $18.5 per share.

While Vedanta's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

Vedanta's most recent dividend payout was on 22 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Vedanta's shares have ranged in value from as little as $14.99 up to $20.14. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Vedanta's is 1.591. This would suggest that Vedanta's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
