Is Vivo Energy under- or over-valued?
Valuing Vivo Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Vivo Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Vivo Energy's P/E ratio
Vivo Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, Vivo Energy shares trade at around 12x 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.
Vivo Energy's EBITDA
Vivo Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £308 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Vivo Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Vivo Energy share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 15.49% of net profits
Recently Vivo Energy has paid out, on average, around 15.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Vivo Energy shareholders could enjoy a 2.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vivo Energy's case, that would currently equate to about 0.02p per share.
While Vivo Energy's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Vivo Energy is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Vivo Energy share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Vivo Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as 56.1257p up to 112.8146p. 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 Vivo Energy's is 1.159. This would suggest that Vivo Energy'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).
