Is Ocean Bio-Chem stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

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.

Recently Ocean Bio-Chem 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), Ocean Bio-Chem shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ocean Bio-Chem's case, that would currently equate to about $0.14 per share.

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