Is PC-Tel stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

PC-Tel's P/E ratio

PC-Tel's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, PC-Tel shares trade at around 30x 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.

PC-Tel's PEG ratio

PC-Tel's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7. 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 PC-Tel's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

PC-Tel's EBITDA

PC-Tel's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $7 million.

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

PC-Tel share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 47.94% of net profits

Recently PC-Tel 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), PC-Tel shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PC-Tel's case, that would currently equate to about $0.22 per share.

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

PC-Tel's most recent dividend payout was on 14 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
