Is Transcat stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Transcat's P/E ratio

Transcat's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 52x. In other words, Transcat shares trade at around 52x 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.

Transcat's EBITDA

Transcat's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $37.4 million.

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

Transcat share dividends

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

Have Transcat's shares ever split?

Transcat's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 July 1997 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Transcat shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Transcat shares which in turn could have impacted Transcat's share price.

Transcat share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Transcat's shares have ranged in value from as little as $94.29 up to $147.115. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

TRNS.US volatility(beta: 0.69)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 Transcat's is 0.692. This would suggest that Transcat's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
