GMG & SHL share price valuation

One way to have a ‘fast read’ of where the GMG share price is could be to study something like dividend yield over time. This can give us a sense of the stability of the company and whether they can consistently pay out a percentage of profits.

Remember, the dividend yield is basically the ‘cash flow’ to a shareholder, but it can fluctuate year-to-year or between payments. Currently, Goodman Group shares have a dividend yield of around 1.07%, compared to its 5-year average of 1.28%. In other words, GMG shares are trading lower than their historical average dividend yield. Be careful how you interpret this information though – it could mean that dividends have fallen, or that the share price is increasing, or both. In the case of GMG, we can see that last year’s dividend was less than the 3-year average, so the dividend has been falling.

Since SHL is more of a ‘growth’ company than an established blue chip, a price-sales ratio might be a more appropriate assessment. This ratio gives us an idea of how the company has historically been valued relative to its earnings, which can indicate if the company is over or undervalued today. The SHL share price currently trades at a price-sales ratio of 1.34x, which compares to its 5-year long-term average of 1.94x. So, SHL shares are trading lower than their historical average. Don’t forget, a simple multiple like this should only be the start of your research.
