Is CoreCivic stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing CoreCivic stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CoreCivic's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CoreCivic's P/E ratio
CoreCivic'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, CoreCivic 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.
CoreCivic's PEG ratio
CoreCivic's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.44. 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 CoreCivic's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
CoreCivic's EBITDA
CoreCivic's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $332 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CoreCivic's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

CoreCivic share dividends
We're not expecting CoreCivic to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have CoreCivic's shares ever split?
CoreCivic's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 8 July 2007 . 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 CoreCivic shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for CoreCivic shares which in turn could have impacted CoreCivic's share price.
CoreCivic share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, CoreCivic's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.74 up to $24.99. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while CoreCivic's is 0.888. This would suggest that CoreCivic's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
