Is Wayside Technology Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Wayside Technology Group's P/E ratio

Wayside Technology Group'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, Wayside Technology Group 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.

Wayside Technology Group's PEG ratio

Wayside Technology Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5736. 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 Wayside Technology Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Wayside Technology Group's EBITDA

Wayside Technology Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $16.6 million.

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

Wayside Technology Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 31.05% of net profits

Recently Wayside Technology Group has paid out, on average, around 31.05% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.19% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Wayside Technology Group shareholders could enjoy a 2.19% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Wayside Technology Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.68 per share.

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

Wayside Technology Group's most recent dividend payout was on 18 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
