Is Cactus stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Cactus's P/E ratio

Cactus's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Cactus shares trade at around 20x 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.

Cactus's EBITDA

Cactus's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $393.7 million.

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

Cactus share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 15.46% of net profits

Recently Cactus 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), Cactus shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cactus's case, that would currently equate to about $0.48 per share.

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

Cactus's most recent dividend payout was on 11 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Cactus share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Cactus's shares have ranged in value from as little as $37.3124 up to $64.8194. 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 Cactus's is 1.951. This would suggest that Cactus's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
