Is China Automotive Systems stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing China Automotive Systems stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of China Automotive Systems's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
China Automotive Systems's P/E ratio
China Automotive Systems's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3x. In other words, China Automotive Systems shares trade at around 3x 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.
China Automotive Systems's PEG ratio
China Automotive Systems's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.61. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into China Automotive Systems's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
China Automotive Systems's EBITDA

China Automotive Systems share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 67.77% of net profits
Recently China Automotive Systems has paid out, on average, around 67.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 16.49% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), China Automotive Systems shareholders could enjoy a 16.49% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In China Automotive Systems's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
China Automotive Systems's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
China Automotive Systems's most recent dividend payout was on 21 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have China Automotive Systems's shares ever split?
China Automotive Systems's shares were split on a 7:2 basis on 4 March 2003. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 7 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your China Automotive Systems shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 71.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for China Automotive Systems shares which in turn could have impacted China Automotive Systems's share price.
China Automotive Systems share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, China Automotive Systems's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.5386 up to $4.1251. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while China Automotive Systems's is 2.431. This would suggest that China Automotive Systems's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
