Is Citizens stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Citizens's P/E ratio

Citizens'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, Citizens shares trade at around 11x 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.

Citizens's EBITDA

Citizens's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $22.2 million.

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

Citizens share dividends

We're not expecting Citizens to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Citizens's shares ever split?

Citizens's shares were split on a 107:100 basis on 12 December 2005. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 107 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Citizens shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Citizens shares which in turn could have impacted Citizens's share price.

Citizens share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Citizens's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.78 up to $5.32. 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 Citizens's is 0.144. This would suggest that Citizens's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
