Is Limoneira stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Limoneira's P/E ratio

Limoneira's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 82x. In other words, Limoneira shares trade at around 82x 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 shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Limoneira's PEG ratio

Limoneira's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.9161. 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 Limoneira's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Limoneira share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 44.12% of net profits

Recently Limoneira 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), Limoneira shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Limoneira's case, that would currently equate to about $0.3 per share.

While Limoneira's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Limoneira may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Limoneira's most recent dividend payout was on 17 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Limoneira's shares ever split?

Limoneira's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 7 April 2010 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Limoneira shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Limoneira shares which in turn could have impacted Limoneira's share price.

Limoneira share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Limoneira's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.1846 up to $29.22. 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 Limoneira's is 0.471. This would suggest that Limoneira's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
