Fair Value

Understanding Fair Value

The fair value of a stock provides insights into whether the stock is currently undervalued or overvalued. It is calculated based on profit, revenue, or dividends and offers a comprehensive perspective of the stock’s intrinsic value.

Income-Based Fair Value

This is calculated by multiplying the earnings per share by the average P/E ratio of the selected past years for smoothing. If the fair value is higher than the current market price, it suggests that the stock is undervalued.

Example 2022

Fair Value Profit 2022 = Earnings per Share 2022 / Average P/E Ratio 2019 - 2021 (3 Years Smoothing)

Revenue-Based Fair Value

It is derived by multiplying the revenue per share by the average price-to-sales ratio of the selected past years for smoothing. An undervalued stock is identified if the fair value exceeds the ongoing market price.

Example 2022

Fair Value Revenue 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 / Average PSR 2019 - 2021 (3 Years Smoothing)

Dividend-Based Fair Value

This value is determined by dividing the dividend per share by the average dividend yield of the selected past years for smoothing. A higher fair value than the market price indicates an undervalued stock.

Example 2022

Fair Value Dividend 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 * Average Dividend Yield 2019 - 2021 (3 Years Smoothing)

Expectations and Forecasts

Future expectations provide potential trajectories for stock prices and aid investors in decision-making. The expected values are forecasted figures of fair value, taking into account the growth or decline trends of profit, revenue, or dividend.

Comparative Analysis

Comparing the fair value based on profit, revenue, and dividend provides a holistic overview of the stock’s financial health. Observing the annual and per-annual variations contributes to understanding the consistency and reliability of stock performance.

Payout ratio

What is Yearly Payout Ratio?

The yearly payout ratio for METRO represents the proportion of earnings paid out as dividends to shareholders. It is an indicator of the company's financial health and stability, illustrating how much profit is being returned to investors versus being reinvested back into the company.

How to Interpret the Data

A lower payout ratio for METRO could mean that the company is reinvesting more into its growth, whereas a higher ratio indicates more earnings are being distributed as dividends. Investors seeking regular income might prefer companies with a higher payout ratio, while those looking for growth may opt for companies with a lower ratio.

Using the Data for Investments

Evaluate METRO's payout ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and performance indicators. A sustainable payout ratio, coupled with strong financial health, can indicate a reliable dividend payout.
