Alternative ways to invest in Smart Sand

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Smart Sand), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Smart Sand is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

SND.US volatility(beta: 1.01)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Is Smart Sand 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. Check out the Smart Sand P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Smart Sand's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Smart Sand's shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Smart Sand's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.15. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Smart Sand's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Smart Sand's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $29 million (£0.0 million).

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