Is Olympic Steel stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Olympic Steel's P/E ratio

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

Olympic Steel's PEG ratio

Olympic Steel's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.46. 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 Olympic Steel's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Olympic Steel's EBITDA

Olympic Steel's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $97.1 million.

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

Olympic Steel share dividends

20%

Dividend payout ratio: 20.1% of net profits

Recently Olympic Steel 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), Olympic Steel shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Olympic Steel's case, that would currently equate to about $0.55 per share.

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

Olympic Steel's most recent dividend payout was on 15 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Olympic Steel share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Olympic Steel's shares have ranged in value from as little as $34.81 up to $72.8447. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

ZEUS.US volatility(beta: 1.46)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Olympic Steel's is 1.462. This would suggest that Olympic Steel's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
