Is Bio-Techne stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Bio-Techne's P/E ratio

Bio-Techne's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 75x. In other words, Bio-Techne shares trade at around 75x recent earnings.

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

Bio-Techne's PEG ratio

Bio-Techne's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7637. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

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

Bio-Techne's EBITDA

Bio-Techne's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $308.5 million.

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

Bio-Techne stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 17.88% of net profits

Recently Bio-Techne has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bio-Techne shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bio-Techne's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.

While Bio-Techne's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Bio-Techne is investing more in its future growth.

Bio-Techne's most recent dividend payout was on 21 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 7 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Bio-Techne's stocks ever split?

Bio-Techne's stocks were split on a 4:1 basis on 29 November 2022 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bio-Techne stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Bio-Techne stocks, which in turn could have impacted Bio-Techne's stock price.

Bio-Techne stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Bio-Techne's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $60.9691 up to $85.3886. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Bio-Techne's is 1.278. This would suggest that Bio-Techne's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
